It's over! Another Harvest Festival has come and gone. Despite the lackluster ecomony, sales for me were exactly what they were last year...so I guess that makes this year a success (?). Attendance seemed a bit down from previous years, but there was a real quality of customers.
Thanks to all my customers and those who just stopped by to say "hi." As
an artist, working a show like this helps me to c
onnect to my audience, and gives me that much needed feedback we artists crave. It always makes me happy when people stop by just to say how my art makes them smile! We artists need constant validation - don't we ;)It's taken a couple months of steady work to build enough merchandise for a show like this. Now that it's done, I don't know what to do with myself! What I really need to do is clean up my studio - I swear it looks like a BOMB went off in there!!!!! I guess I
really need to relax and enjoy the Christmas season and give my creative batteries a chanc
e to recharge.

Your booth really shows off your art! Looks great. Yes, David, take a couple of hours off, then get that studio cleaned! Ha! Just kidding. After doing that much work, you better have your feet up. And you are so right, as artist, we NEED that feed back. Meeting those people that love your stuff makes it REAL! ~PJ
I really love the way your booth looks and no wonder you sold so many pieces, you have such an amazing style...LOVE it!
I absolutely love your creations.

Love the humor and expressive faces of your characters.... I'm sure they DO bring smiles to everyone that sees them. That's the best part of making happy-spirited folk art and what fuels me to keep creating. Glad you had a great show! Cheers to that!!!
