The crowd was steady despite the bit of snow and slick conditions on the local roads.
It was a great opportunity and besides making some cold hard cash, it was fun! I love getting the opportunity to talk with customers, get some feed back and make people laugh. It’s a great feeling to see everyone who passed by leave with a smile because there was something that caught their eye. Not to mention the fun watching peoples’ reactions to this piece in particular. It was a hit.
The night before I had the pleasure of showing locally at the Loft Salon & Spa for the November St Cloud Area Art Crawl. It was a blast to hang out with great friends, meet new people, talk with other great artists, and meet my very first self proclaimed “super fan”. Let me tell you, it’s really bizarre to meet someone who is excited to “finally meet you in person” as if I’m finally the cool kid or something. Strange, but totally flattering. Not to mention a bit embarrassing discussing in person the stories behind many of the blog posts (like “What’s that Smell?).
My hubby and I picked up this beautiful little gem from local artist, Dan Mondloch. He’s an amazing watercolorist that I’ve had the chance to get to know despite being at art school together back in the day, but not sharing any classes.
It reminds me of all the long drives home I’ve had over the years. It encompasses MY Minnesota.
