"Yes, I wall myself in my studio, too. I have decided to take the spring and summer off since I'm changing medium to encaustic and cold wax. My supply order should be here this week or next - medium was on backorder. I've spent the…"

Beverly Smith commented on margaret luttrell's group encaustic artists
"Hi Margaret - Love your work. I notice you have mostly smaller works (16 x 20 and under). Do you work on cradled panels and have you tried stretched canvas for smaller work? I was in Florida last weekend and gas was $3.20 already. I've decided…"
Beverly Smith commented on margaret luttrell's group encaustic artists
"Margaret - I am just learning encaustic and am starting with cold wax and oil (I know that is not true encaustic, but the results are great). You mentioned packaging for shows. I came across an artist website that has a fantastic tutorial for…"

encaustic artists
This group will address issues and share information on encaustic updates and the always iffy world of doing shows with encaustic work.
Beverly Smith commented on Roxie Spell's blog post Suncoast Arts Festival at the Shops of Wiregrass Wesley Chapel, FLorida
"Roxie - Well, I have decided no more mall shows. This was my first at a mall and it wasn't what I really expected. I expected to be in a large parking lot of an indoor mall. The type in Atlanta. At least I made my expenses. After reading some…"
Beverly Smith commented on Roxie Spell's blog post Suncoast Arts Festival at the Shops of Wiregrass Wesley Chapel, FLorida
"Roxi, I replied to Lori's post since I saw it first, but I agree I was so tired by the end of the show I did not fill out the report. Most artists I talked to were happy enough with the set up, but very unhappy with the sales. I understand…"
Beverly Smith commented on lori kay's blog post Suncoast Art Festival, Wesley Chapel, FL
"I did a tenth of what I usually do at this show. Since the costs were very low and I stayed in the parking lot, I basically broke even. No artists near me were happy with their sales. The set up was good and the crowds were there. I saw more…"
Beverly Smith replied to Larry Berman's discussion You're Out, You're In, You're Out- Mainsail
"Well, I wondered if it was just me. Got the series of emails, also. However, like Alison, I had not planed on going if accepted. It still felt weird. I am having second thoughts about traveling long distances to do shows this year. Just eats up so…"
Beverly Smith replied to Charles Bingham's discussion Intuit gopayment CC service... Happy with it?
"I've been using GoPayment about a year and love it. I have Verizon phone service, so haven't had a problem with reception. I have the Blue Bamboo card reader/printer and it is great. No problems and good customer service. I didn't…"
Beverly Smith commented on Connie Mettler's blog post Before you Spend a Dime on Art Supplies
"I signed up for this a while back. Looking forward to it. I'd been thinking about doing it for a couple of years and decided this was the year. I have been impressed with the pre-seminar material I have already received. I'll report on it…"

Beverly Smith commented on Linda Pirkle's blog post Osceola fine art show in Feb
"Jennifer - I noticed you did Suncoast last year. I'm doing it in 2011. Are you returning? I'm an abstract painter. Can you tell me anything about the show? I have a rv and plan on staying in the parking lot to keep costs down, but how were…"
Beverly Smith replied to Munks's discussion This is really remarkable!
"I just sent this to all my potter friends. Too funny. Of course, no matter our medium, we've all met this person way too often. Thanks for the laugh."
Beverly Smith commented on Melanie Rolfes's blog post Girls be careful accepting drinks from strangers!!! Candler Park Festival (Atlanta)
"I'm new, but I have a friend who swears by having a few beers to increase sales - taking the edge off I'm sure. At Shrimp Festival, which has open drinking, my neighbor and I had a game going where we had a beer after the first sale or 2…"

Set up and take down were well organized. The weather was perfect, 80's with low humidity. I was in the fine art section and the promoter was there during set up, parts of the show, and take down to handle problems. There were no booth sitters and this is a long show. They provided coffee, water and soft drinks, but you had to go to the hospitality tent to get them. The awards were generous and seemed to be well placed among the artists with jewelers receiving the most awards. The show has… Continue
