The English Estate Winery Art & Wine Fair in Vancouver Washington has already come and gone ~ and I enjoyed my time at this event last weekend. What a great opportunity to get out and meet the people, to talk with those who take the time and pennies to purchase the work.
THE NEXT EVENT:
Friday August 6 (4:30-8p) & Saturday August 7 (11-4p) Camas Live, downtown Camas Washington
I will be honored to have a booth there with original paintings, 8×10 & 12×12 prints, art cards and glass art charms

I adore talking with people, and this was the easiest time I had talking with those who wanted to support the art – practice practice, I guess, because last weekend I found it comfortable and easy to share myself with my buyers. In the past it has always felt like a bit of a struggle (how much do you say, what do you say, how friendly should you be, should you encourage sales?)
This year I was two things: honest, and myself.

While at the event, I had some time to paint and began working on tomorrow’s 10×10 (titled Listen) – inspired by those I talked with, I determined that this new painting would be a simplified color mix of reds, yellows and browns (see the sneak peek below).


Love & Sincerely, Katie
