Sometimes you're the bug....

The set up at Wickford wasn't too bad. We had a little rain but nothing unbearable. No flooding. We had decent weather and lots of people but I only sold one small painting. Some fellow artists didn't do so hot either. I don't think the one next to me sold anything and a couple of others only sold 1. We aren't allowed to bring prints of our work at Wickford so we are at a disadvantage when we're up against the photographers. They can bring as many prints as the like and since they are so much cheaper than original artwork, they look like a bargain. Especially when they are printed on canvas and "enhanced" with an acrylic gel to look like brush strokes. It's a sore spot among artists and it doesn't seem fair.

Oh well, sometimes you're the bug and sometimes you're the windshield.

On to Westport.
