Well the show / sale is over.... lots of NWS volunteers helping to make this a success. I had a great time!
I came down to the cities and arrived mid afternoon Thursday to hang my art in my designated 9 x16 feet area on wooden white walls. We are blessed with great art lighting in this Fine Art Building (used for the MN State Fair). I had decided to sell mounted work and had some matted watercolor pieces. In my site we had 4 horizontal lines of work that would fit mostly 16 x 20 frames or smaller.... and 105 pieces + 1 framed floral back from a show.
A group of us gathered together to share supper at a local pub.... the food was great and so fun to visit with other artists and get to know each other.
The reception for the Northstar Watermedia Society was Thursday night and that time allowed artists to react to this grand exhibition and comment to each other on their art. Treats made it special too.

Friday - I attended 4 of the free demo's and learned so much. Katherine Salverda worked with creating mixed media paintings in the am and showed us the different ways to create texture, change the hue, design and add abstraction. The artists in the audience were fascinated.

Saturday - Rains were moving through the city / state and we had a safe rain-proof area to be in. And since it was too wet to do outside work for spring, it seemed to be bringing more art admirers to see our art. Great demo's to be had on Saturday also.

Sunday - early-afternoon folks realized the show would be over at 4 pm and poured in the doors. So much art to see and so little time! Pouring rain at times..... what a day! My work shift was from 3:30 pm - 7:30 pm and we concentrated on assisting with tearing down our imprint on the building, clean up, assisting individual artists with take down & check out. I had sales! Then I still had a 2 hour trip to get home afterwards ......
It was a good show! Hope you can come to see us next year!
