Oh, despite the rain it was a WONDERFUL Open Studio~ Friends old and new dropped by and braved the drippy skies to say hello, see new work, and take new pieces home with them. I had fabulous friends helping me, Jane Colbath and Carol Zaloumis were in charge of the 'cash wrap' desk - Meelynna Lor was so wonderful both the day before labeling and on Saturday patiently walking Jane and I through the 'Square' over and over and over. (Got it now, Meelynna!)
Many, many of you came out, too, and I can't tell you how I appreciate seeing you in person! I had a raffle for one of my new resin coated paintings for my blog followers only, and the winner was - unbelievably - Carol Zaloumis! Unbelievable, because she didn't want her name in the jar - and I argued that it didn't matter that she was 'working' with me, if she was a blog follower - she was eligible! And now... she'll receive her painting in the mail.
I am taking a break. Summer was all work for me so far (granted, the best work one can possibly have...) but I'm going to enjoy the end of the summer, and if I get a little painting in... good! If not, I'll let my creative juices stew, and enjoy my family before diving back in with new ideas and inspirations in September!
Yeah, you did it! Now, take a well needed break and maybe some zzzzs.
