Blowing my own trumpet :-)

Wow what an awesome day!!! Hope everyone had a great Easter, we've basically been having carb overload in our house.... what with Hot Cross Buns, chocolate, bread and more bread....

Just a wee bit of news from todays craft fair in town. After much encouragement from Jaimie, I finally bit the bullet and took some of my paintings to the fair to sell. Now this is really the first time I've ever put myself 'out' there, so i was a little nervous.

The craft fair didn't really get many people through, which was a little disappointing, but hopefully next year, they will advertise it a little better. However I sold 5 paintings and a lady asked me to make a similar one to this:-



I was totally blown away... and I mean totally blown away!!

Then after slowly coming down from that, the owner of the art shop in town (who also has a gallery) asked me to submit some work to her shop, to put up and sell. She said that she gets a lot of tourists through her shop and they would love some of my pieces to sell.........................





AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
