Post Paintworks musings

Its over!!

It was a good day, there was a really positive vibe in the morning when all the other artists were bustling around and setting up. However, it was also LOTS of work, and I found it difficult spending all day manning the "stall". Its hard to know whether people want you to talk to them or leave them alone to look, and it was agony when someone was looking at a piece of work and deciding whether to buy it or not. I found it quite hard! But there were also lots of positive comments. I particularly enjoyed meeting some art students who were just starting out and who were keen to know how I create some of the effects and textures in my work. Chatting to them was fun, and made me feel fired up and excited. Its amazing to be told you have inspired someone!

All in all, a good day, but I'm glad I have no artistic commitments now for the forseeable future. I am already beginning to contemplate my next exhibition, but for now, it is such a relief to just be able to create what I want, and not have to worry about displaying or selling.

Just creating.....
