If You Cant Beat Em Join Em

A not-so-great photo of me--my apologies! This is me at my current event: Gateway Country Club through the month of May. The one good thing is they're having an open house and big BBQ shebang this weekend, so even though it's not "season," and many of the snowbirds have gone home, there will still be traffic.

Our league took down our paintings from the building downtown; only three sales thus far for three months of exposure. A bleak sales picture. I've thought about that a lot. We were downtown, waiting for "lookers" to come to us. In my current venue, I am literally taking my wares to the customer; hence, my title: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Maybe that's the secret to success!

I no sooner got my display set up, than I had some admirers. One especially interested party, picked up a bio and a business card. A league member who displayed in April seems to have a strong lead for murals. A gentleman who has a bare-walled home he just purchased, and he wants to spruce it up. I'll keep you posted on the results of our display at Gateway over the next few months.
