I was on the "art show circuit" for almost 25 years and absolutely loved the travel, the people, and making friends with other artists from all over the US. You'll do very well with your subject matter and skillful paintings...you have what your buyers want! And, they just love to talk to the exhibiting artist. I always loved talking to my customers. Especially loved traveling in NY state, Indiana, and Alabama...ah, fond memories for sure. Good luck.mollie joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849966088152371349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-76739232176269722712011-03-23T13:40:24.158-04:002011-03-23T13:40:24.158-04:00Rhonda, your juried shows are "big" show...Rhonda, your juried shows are "big" shows, in terms of prestige!It's quite a feat to get in.<br /><br />The show starting tomorrow and for which I am presently getting ready is a group show and we are limited to about 4 paintings each...so, not too too much preparation. As for sales, the market is not very good here right now as in most places; I also feel that watercolors under glass don't sell as well as acrylics and oils on gallery-wrapped canvas that don't need any framing. For that reason, I am really looking for alternatives for my watercolors under glass.<br />You produce so much every week, Rhonda...you are certainly the opposite of lazy!Christiane Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-24820620104681601232011-03-23T13:08:06.461-04:002011-03-23T13:08:06.461-04:00Best of luck on all the shows!

I find I'm too lazy to always be getting ready for a show! ha haRH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-39026707500253949492011-03-23T09:54:35.489-04:002011-03-23T09:54:35.489-04:00Mary,

The only place I've shown online is in my blog. I love to participate in art shows. It gives me a reason to frame and hang pieces together and view them as a body of work. I see things differently.<br /><br />I also enjoy having friends and unknown guests come to enjoy the work. A bonus is selling a piece because I feel especially recognized.<br /><br />Wishing you many successes with your shows and wish I could be there.Mary Paquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146041383396968425noreply@blogger.com
