Moving Right Along

Hello!  It's festival season, spring, and whatever else.  It all equals busy!  My first trip to Festival International was last weekend and I enjoyed it.  Many of the artists are the same that I've seen at Three Rivers Art Festival in Covington, but there were some other artists I had never seen before, too.  If only I had access to a screen printer....

My lease is up at Redoux, and I've decided to take my art down.  It's a neat shop, but as I heard an artist say today, "art isn't selling anywhere...it's the economy".  It's sad, yet true.  A new gallery near my work never seems to have any foot traffic either, and while Redoux does always have customers, I think my stuff just gets lost in there.  Next paycheck or so I'll get my business license taken care of so I can sell wherever - like the farmer's markets.

In the meantime, I'll just keep doing art for arts sake and not be overly concerned about making things to sell.  I'll get the sewing machine set up in the studio and start learning how to use it, continue making art for work (a comic strip, library decorations - National Library Week and now summer reading, & whatever else they ask for).  Maybe new ideas will work their way into my psyche during this downtime.
