The Tourist are Coming!


That is the hope at least, that soon our streets will be filled with people gazing about at the wonder of Alaska. It makes me happy to live here when I see visitor's faces lit up as they take in their surroundings. Here I am enjoying a HUGE low tide we experienced yesterday. Ahhhh, Alaska.


As I mentioned in my last blog, sunny weather makes concentration somethings difficult. I worked feverishly to get new art into all my venues in April. First because I wanted nice full walls for the tourist but also because you can't help but have your production drop a bit in the summer. I hope to sit on G Street on the end of June during a new art sidewalk show the city is adding this year. (Keep your eyes on the blog to hear more.) And I am busy getting our Art on the Lake trip organized. That takes away from time at the easel.


Here is the good news/bad news of an artist. "GOOD NEWS, we sold three of your paintings and we need more ASAP!" Then comes... BAD NEWS I don't have time scheduled for that since I have these other projects in the works. It really is a good problem to have but a scheduling problem none the less. I am always warmed when someone feels my art was worth laying down money for and taking home. It's what my job is all about.


Time to drag the easel on the deck, ignore the phone and get some paint brushes flying!
