Jan.13 - Sunday I am still walking on air after selling an original piece of art and 1 print at the Art Stroll in Mount Dora on Friday night. This was the first time I had participated in a "selling event" - I have only been showing my work in shows with certified judges and have been fortunate enough to win several ribbons. Had Cassie and Dawn not encouraged me I probably never would have tried my hand at art. Now, at this late date and at my age, I feel a new window has opened and I must do my best to excel - now we will see!!

Mount Dora Art Stroll

I wanted to show you my display and give you a chance to see some of my work. We had beautiful weather and lots of people stopped by. I belong to the Mount Dora Art League (along with a couple of other "art organizations") and we all were set up in different areas of the historic downtown for a few hours. My other daughter, Dawn (visit her at Maebelle Park) helped me get ready...selecting, pricing, packing, set-up...and I was so very excited about it all!

Anyway...I am pleased to say that I sold one of my originals...the exact one that is up above! I felt lucky...there was so much wonderful art to choose from!

I am already thinking about the next Art Stroll and getting ready to start working in my studio. I'm moving into something a bit different...working with old jewelry! I'll have one of the girls post pictures when I get it finished ;)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
