No Notice Art Fair

Last weekend, I was in a (almost) no notice art fair. The art fair was in the Lafayette Shopping Mall in Portsmouth, NH. I had applied for the fair last May but never received a response. Two days before the fair, I received an email reminding me of the show with a printout of the artists and I was on the list. A few emails later I started getting ready for the show.

Something went awry and I and a couple of friends didn't receive notice of acceptance. One friend only found out when someone had seen a poster announcing the show and told him his name was on it.

Anyway it was a good show, the hosts were quite helpful and nice. It was their first show and I hope they'll have it again next year.

I sold my last Mustang giclee print, I will have to get more made. This print has been a best seller for me on Zazzle.com and Cafepress.com. So far everyone who has purchased the image has had it put on black tee shirts, black caps, and black jackets and black sweats.

Weather Problems

Major weather problems made for a bad day at the Londonderry Art Fair. I was hoping that the fair would be rain delayed but the fair officials said the weather was supposed to break and the fair would go on. It was misting as I errected my tent and placed my paintings inside. I left the front off the tent because I didn't want my display to be too obscured. However before long the rains came heavy and winds blew rain into the tent and I had to put up the fourth side of the tent. Some on my paintings got wet and I was soaked. There was a bit of a break in the afternoon and a few people came by the Art Fair.

The only good thing about the day was my painting of the " Nubble Light" a lighthouse in Maine took a third place ribbon.



I had to spend the next couple of days drying out my displays, tent and had to reframe some of the glazed artwork. I wish we had gone for the rain day.

Londonderry Art Fair

I will be setting up my tent on the Londonderry commons, Londonderry, NH on Saturday, Sep 12 along with about 30 other artists for a day long art show. I would love to have someone stop by who actually saw my blog. Above are a couple of the twenty original paintings I will be displaying along with numberous giclee prints of my current and past art work.

This will probably be my last outdoor show for this year.
