Dear Friends,
Today was my second art booth. I found it interesting that the first one I had on the Fourth of July, the day began with a little boy, about 9 years old, who liked one of my paintings. His dad didn't have any money on him but the boy really wanted the painting so they left and about 10 minutes later came and bought it.
Today as the day began a little girl, about 9 also, fell in love with one of my paintings. She took a photo of it with her iphone and looked at me and I told her it was okay. I gave her my card and she ran away.
She brought her mother to show her the painting but mom said she had no cash. She brought her two older brothers to see if they would buy her the painting, then she brought her dad...I told him I would take checks or credit cards, but he said no.
Well she didn't give up. She brought her grandmother and told her how the painting had her favorite colors and it would look great in her room. The grandmother bought it for her. I wish I could post her photo showing how happy she was to get it (California laws do not allow us posting photos of minors unless we have consent from parents. This is to protect children. I have one her grandmother allowed me to take, but for my own personal records.
I felt great and so happy she got it because she wanted it so much that I almost thought of gifting it to her. The little girl was my first buyer today at the Old California Restaurant Artwalk in San Marcos. I'm fascinated that the children and teens who stopped by today really liked my art. I could see it in their eyes. It's a wonderful feeling.
The painting above is the one she bought.
Two of my paintings were juried in for La Bodega Gallery one day show, on September 27, 2014. I'll be there! The reception is from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm and it's located at 2196 Logan Ave. San Diego 92113. All paintings are $100.00 or less. I was curious about this venue so glad I got in.
Love,
Gladys
