The event at Wisteria Antiques turned out to be delightful this year. I'd done it once before several years ago and tried to paint, too. This time we brought 24 paintings, set them all around grounds and in nooks and crannies, and I just was able to chat with new friends and sell paintings! I sold 6, including one giclee order. It was a perfect setting to tuck paintings in amongst the beautiful gardens, listen to the birds and the fountains and sip iced tea. Thanks to everyone who came by to visit and say hello, and especially to my new collector, Kathy, and Carol at a wisteria for inviting me. That same collector bought two more today, plus she ordered a large commission done of one in Big Sur. I also sold six others to a couple for the husband's business offices, and sold another giclee and 145 cards, all in two weeks! The best ever...almost like having Open Studios in June! (Also two others bought two more from the Alvarado Gallery show in Monterey, so that adds up to 16 paintings sold in two weeks total.)
