It's been an interesting few days. Wassailfest was a success. Planned the amount about right...only had about a quart of wassail left over! That's pretty good since I always fear either running out in the first hour or having a couple gallons left to throw out (I can only drink so much wassail!). Talked to lots of folks about art classes for the spring, which is great! I plan to teach drawing again (haven't done so in about a year) and want to put together some other art courses. David got to discuss his photography with several people and he continues to get such positive comments about his work.
Something really great happened Thursday/Friday. Got a call from a very nice couple from Boerne who read about me and my art in the November Hill Country Edge and wanted to see my work. Long story short, David and I took several paintings to thier house Friday afternoon so they could see what fit. Two works, "Spring Medley" a 48x48 inch (my largest work to date, which is also the painting I'm in front of on the front page of my website) and "Basking in the Warm Glow of Spring, a 40x30 inch painting in warm tones with a reddish background, now have a new home in Boerne! I am so very honored that my work affects people the way it does and it will continue to warm hearts and souls for years to come.
We are heading back to Austin today for day two of "Wild Ideas: The Shopping Event" at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Yesterday's traffic and sales were slow but we are hoping for the best today. Three of our Texas Birdhouses will have new homes come Christmas day as they were purchased for gifts. At least 2 are going out of state! Had some serious interest in my paintings as well.
I've been working on my website this past week and struggled with some broken links. I think I have them all fixed but still can't get my Wildflower Catalog pdf file to link correctly. That's the next thing on the list. If you ever find a broken link on my website, please let me know!
