On the 4th of July one of my art groups, the South Bay Art Association, sponsors an art show called "Artists on the Lane." It has been going on for about 40 years. I didn't have a booth but I worked at our art group's booth and I was asked to paint on site. The only view I had other than the booths of the actual vendors was the Bellport Gazebo right behind me. I sketched in a few people as they came and went in the little park.
Here are a few photos of me at work.

| Photo by Karen Tripmacher The show was a success with nearly 60 vendors and a fair amount of traffic. I did sell a few things that I had on display in our booth...two alcohol ink tiles and a batch of greeting cards. |
That gazebo and the plants in the background are so beautiful! You really captured the light nicely. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tina!
DeleteIt is pretty special to be part of that kind of a tradition. I really am glad you posted your WIP because I got to see your easel set up. Pretty cool as it looks sturdy enough but lightweight as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is special to be part of a group that has been around so long. The easel is pretty convenient...fairly light and sturdy.
DeleteIt sounds like you had a lovely day, Joan. I really like the gazebo painting - such challenging perspective but you nailed it!
ReplyDeleteVal, thanks so much!
DeleteGreeting cards are always so popular!!! I love the way you painted the gazebo....I'm so happy that it was a successful day. I had no doubt!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilda. I've debated for years about doing a booth. It just seems like so much work. I've gotten too old for doing that outdoors.
DeleteThanks, Joan, for showing your work and you! love seeing the beautiful painting and how you work.
