Artists reported few sales, a few commissions and low interest. However I did make some sales on small works and felt VERY LUCKY to have made more than my rent for the month.<br /><br />I also want to add that any real nastiness I have ever experienced from people looking at my work tends to come from other "artists". Interesting. So far I have been able to derail most (not all) of that snarky behavior by engaging them about their criticisms. But every once and a while..the nasty response I am thinking slips out. I fight hard when I meet a bully, my old street response kicks in. Not always a good thing, gotta keep that under control.mariandioguardi.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963944767715466681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-30763494175708958642009-09-21T07:03:52.511-04:002009-09-21T07:03:52.511-04:00These photos are further proof you New Englanders ...These photos are further proof you New Englanders have all the fun. <br /><br />The good news is my wife and I are coming up Maine this week for some plein air frenzy.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.com
