As for the business - in art it is always a chancy thing and all you can do is your best. Have a great day!

Unfortunately, the worst fires near us are in very steep terrain and very hard to fight so until we get a few days of rain I thin we will have to live with the smoke. We won't be continuing with the art market in the fall as there are too many other things happening and the tourist numbers dwindle. I am glad you like my new work, especially the quilled pieces. I am having fun playing with them and making them fancier. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm also sorry to hear that your art market hasn't been too successful. It is so hard to get something new started. Will you continue to hold it through the fall? I like your new pieces, especially the quilled one. I still find those so fascinating.

Yes, th...Thank you so much Sheila for your concern. Yes, the smoke has impacted my garden time but others have it worse so I am counting my blessings. My husband said I should paint our visitor's portrait but I figure I have the photo so I don't need to - lol. I am glad you like the paintings. About the market, yes, I have thought about doing some days in the fall but there are so many other things happening then that I won't have time. We are, however, thinking about something for next year.

No good breathing that, and I am sure it is affecting your treasured garden time. Wishing for more rain for you all :)<br />Love your little visitor, think he is begging for a portrait, LOL. Glad to see you are getting some creative time in! i love the new bud on your dragonfly, and the baskets and tablecloth on the still life really catch my eye ;) <br />Really sorry to hear that your market has not been improving. Have you thought about maybe trying a few weekends in the fall? Or next spring? It is such a great idea, I hope you are able to give it another go and I hope for better attendance :)<br />Wish you well!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051980478832038967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-87531923529543501852017-08-15T09:10:17.550-07:002017-08-15T09:10:17.550-07:00Hi Nelvia.

I was thinking the other day that the forests shouldn't be this dry because we has so much snow but I guess 2 months of extreme heat (for us)wiped out the benefit of the snow. We are all keeping our finaglers crossed for more rain. Thanks for stopping by.

It seems the weather is pretty mixed up and the rain is either on or off, floods or drought. You would think after all your snow you would be in the rain pattern. Hoping rain and cooler temps for youNelviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270512609434415587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242851672654516298.post-75904389533852564262017-08-14T23:06:09.526-07:002017-08-14T23:06:09.526-07:00Thanks Mad.
