This past weekend I participated in a "Pop Up Gallery", in Kamloops. It was all in all a great weekend and a good opportunity to show my work and to learn. One of the nice things that happens when you show your work is you get a lot of people coming by and complementing your work. The ones who don't care for it, either walk past or don't say anything. This means that you get quite a lot of positive and none or very little negative. I don't know about you, but that always makes me feel good. :)
I did learn a lot about set up for displaying my work. I learned that I need some lighting, and I learned that zap straps are the best thing in the world for setting up your grid wall. I learned that people really like to purchase cards and magnets. So, when Art in the Park rolls around on Canada Day this year, I will be better prepared.
I also go to meet 2 women who are members of the FCA-TSNC. This is the Thompson Shuswap Nicola Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists. They were both lovely people, and I really enjoyed being able to spend the weekend with them and getting to know them. I'm now not quite as nervous about the big chapter meeting this Thursday as I was before.
One more thing.... this is my latest painting... "Fresh".
