The Aftermath

Piccolo Spoleto (a 17-day art festival in Charleston, SC) is over.  Now I need a week to decompress.  But even THAT has to wait.  Today I must:

- empty the truck and carry every box into the house
- unload every box (wash the glass, wipe down the frames, restock the studio, wash the tent inside & out, reorganize the bins of supplies, wash the curtains and tablecloths that I use as pretty props on my pretend tables, add the non-perishable food and drinks back to the pantry...)
- fulfill my orders (ship out prepaid paintings to my new collectors, get pricing to those asking for commissions and have them sign the contract, start painting the commissions)
- add email addresses to my list if my visitors wanted to receive my future Newsletters
- reorder business cards since I am running low from handing them out, and so on.

I know there's more to do, but I'm making myself tired thinking about it.  There's also the fact that I had pushed back many "things to do" for later this week because of dealing with Spoleto.  So I'll have to pull out the calendar and hop on those as well.  

All in all, it was a very successful show for me and I should stop complaining!  After this week, I'll start thinking about Venice again...my painting workshop is coming up in October and I still have a spot for you in it!

Tuesday...more rain...now sunshine = steamy!

We're back in business after another torrential rain this morning in downtown Charleston (at Marion Square...Piccolo Spoleto).  So glad that the little dark cloud has moved ON!

Spoleto, here I come!

In less than 3 weeks, I'll be setting up my art tent in Marion Square in historic Charleston as we welcome 2013's PICCOLO SPOLETO.   This art show lasts 17 (usually grueling) days.  Picture 95-100 degree weather, mixed in with heavy rains and then you'll have a good idea of what the artists of Spoleto usually deal with.  But, also picture 76 artists with artwork as diverse as it gets, smiling their hearts out, ready to share with you their special talents.

I've participated in outdoor festivals for the last 30 years, and I consider myself a gypsy at heart.  Our band of artists is our family.

I'll look forward to welcoming you into my tent (Tent #17...sounds like a good number, doesn't it?) and spending some time talking about art!  See you there!

Art I love!


Just in case you don't know him, I wanted you to meet Bob Graham through his work below...Bob's talent transcends the physical application of paint or pencil to paper.  He sees INTO the person's soul and, as a result, we feel we know these people.  Enjoy his work!  (and go see him at Spoleto in Marion Square over the next 2 weeks!)





I think this one's my favorite!

Painting & Living Downtown

Ran into artist friend Karen Hagan today in downtown Charleston...she is lucky enough to have a working studio in downtown Charleston on Broad St.  I think that would be the best!  Good luck at Piccolo, Karen!
