Holiday Arts Tour 2016 - Yes, yes, yes!

So, last weekend the Holiday Arts Tour happened which is the only relevant art event per year that I have participated in for six years. Every year it was fun and exciting and quite successful. I got my name out, met new people, sold some, and got a lot of feedback and inspiration for new projects. Now this year was very different - in the best way! For the first time I was showing my mixed media 2-D narratives and sold half of my 31 pieces! Yes, I did! Many people were taking their time looking at each piece and actually wanted to hear more about the stories that I was telling. One of the visitors told me later that she had to go outside for a minute to collect herself because my small "Openings" piece triggered certain emotions in her that she said she hadn't been aware of before. I am grateful for this experiece. This is exactly what I wanted to achieve: Creating stories that make people feel and can connect with.

Openings

It makes me happy that I actually didn't sell my large scale flower oil pastels at all but so many of my storytelling pieces. I guess I am on the right track! My plan for the near future: Making more! I have already been working on six new pieces, can't wait to get back to them as soon as the holidays are over.

These are the ones that are still available. Let me know if you are interested in a particular one.
