A wonderful resource

For all my artist readers out there--I have a wonderful resource for you:

Two artists, Leslie Saeta and Dreama Tolle Perry, host a weekly radio show where they share their hard earned knowledge about being a successful artist. Topics include diverse subjects such as using Facebook to sell art to framing your art to marketing your art online. Each broadcast is available as a free podcast on iTunes. It's definitely worth your while to check out.

Old Saybrook Arts Festival

What an effort for the show this weekend. Rain during setup Friday night. Rain at 4:00 on Saturday (I spent the rainstorm in my tent--at least I know my tent doesn't leak). And rain during breakdown. You have never seen so many artistic drowned rats in your life. And boy was it steamy when it wasn't raining. I spent the weekend covered in a gooey paste that was a combination of sunblock and sweat.

However people came out like they always do at Old Saybrook. Interestingly enough, all my sales of orginal paintings were of calla lilies. Here's one that sold.
