Wette Painte

Just finished a 2-day, 2-event art display. Yesterday I participated in the Best of BoerneFest Art show, which was well attended, and I had a great time meeting folks and getting my name out. Today I did the first ever Boerne Art Waddle - an event that highlighted some of the artist who live in the "Flats" and several other artists that were hosted in different homes. It was a blast - I finished 1 painting Saturday, and completed 2 on Sunday. I took my easel to both events and painted and talked to people.

I am coming to understand art is a lot about joy. It brings me joy ( and satisfaction, peace, and relaxation) to paint. I enjoy it, other people enjoy it, and sometimes they buy it. I was able to let a few people take the pallet knife, and contribute to my painting. Whenever someone asks how difficult it is to paint with a knife, I hand them the knife and let them put paint on the surface...it's that easy, and I get to show someone they can do it too.

I'm happy, they're happy - Er-body's happy.

Here's my unsigned paintings from the weekend - still drying...
