Some concerned citizens have been asking if I have given up art. No, I promise that is not the case. Things are just changing a bit right now. I am trying to integrate my love of antiques and art.
On Saturday I was a vendor at The Fancy Flea Market in Lakeland, FL. This was cited by Romantic Homes Magazine as one of the Ten Best Flea Markets in the U.S. They were so right, it was a marvelous show. It was held on the streets of the historical district of Lakeland. Combine that with mature trees along the street, top notch vendors, beautiful weather, live harp music, beautiful gardening items and good food...well, it was just wonderful. It was so busy, though, I forgot to take pictures; just snapped these few as we were setting up the booth.
This show was the first time I tried to put my art with the antiques. Guess what? I sold some paintings! It was great confirmation to me that this idea will work.
Tomorrow I will be working on some small paintings that didn't get finished in time for the show. It's another idea I have been wanting to try. So many ideas...so little time.
The next Fancy Flea Market will be held on April 28 in 2012. You gotta come; you will love it. See you there!
