Thank you all for coming to my Open Studio last weekend! You helped make it a wonderful weekend event on so many levels.
First of all, it was just plain fun to see old friends and patrons.
And then there were loyal Oreo Contest contestants, like Blake, who came back for another try year after year.
Part of the beauty of being on the RiverArts Studio Tour is meeting new people, and we had a steady flow the entire weekend. My friends Eva and Steve even brought their friends (middle couple) from Australia!
It was such a luxury to spend all weekend talking about art, past and present. We continued the art dialogue we had begun last summer with our first visitors, Barbara and Howard (and their friend Linda on the right), who we met at the Seward Johnson Retrospective at the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ.
Barbara made the first purchase of the weekend with Jay’s Blueberry Tart.
It was an exciting weekend that opened the door to a variety of potential new ideas and opportunities – everything from future commissions, to a request for private lessons, the possibility of another demo and talk, and an offer to explore the possibility of licensing my images to an upscale clothing company.
A great weekend by any measure. Until next year. But please don’t wait a year to stop by this blog and check in.
