A lady told me that she had bought one of my paintings at a yard sale.
I have been active as an artist since 1966. I figure after working for such a long time, there's no telling where my work will end up.
I told the lady that I would call to see the early painting of mine.
This exchange happened at the Park Hill street fair.

Made some WAM
I was in a street fair on Sunday 25, September. I was able to make my booth fee back and some WAM. WAM is walking around money.
The weather was very nice. I took my shoe box art. Sold about eight little paintings. I price to sell. The artworks are 5x7inches up to 6x8inches.
The shoe box works, some of them can be seen on youtube.
I priced them at $35-$75. I do what ever it takes to heat and eat as an artist.

Taking It Slow
I have been taking it slow artwise.
I have been coping with hot weather, this makes me sluggish.
I am still painting in fits and starts, the small works.
I do have a large inventory to put in the marketplace.
I plan on having some home shows in the fall.

Taking A Different Route
I just read wizzelwolf's blog and discovered that the artist has changed her position in the art universe.
I read that she rented a studio to get more traffic.
Good idea, sometimes an artist has to take their art to the people.
Wizzelwolf is a very productive and clever artist.
I hope people get their money out and buy some Wizzwelwolf art.

The Long Run
Art careers are life long, at least they should be. I mention this because of many reality shows on television.I wonder how many of the participants
will go on to have life long careers in their artisitic disiciplines?
I know how much work it takes to be a visual artist, as I have been doing the art life for a long time. I know that there are many who, don't have what it takes to do the long run in the arts.

No Data
Art festivals in Denver do not give any reports on sales,after the events are over.
I feel that a good report would be very encouraging to other artists.
I also feel that more sales of art would be made in Denver if the festival organizers would do an end of festival general sales report.

Cherry Creek Arts Fest
The CCAF was very active, I saw a lot of art being sold.
The CCAF has something for any budget. I am glad that I went.
People seem to be spending money for art, no matter the times
moneywise.
I did speak to one artist who said it cost her $2000 to do a art fest in Chicago.
One has to have the money to to art festivals.
