I have been drawing, painting and now silk painting forever.I started out in oils, but because of my smoking and the turp, it bothered my lungs, so I switched to watercolors in the 90's. But now that there are water-soluble oils and I have stopped smoking 26 yrs ago, I have picked that up again.I used to do alot of florals and local landscapes, but then in 1991 I became scuba certified.

- What are the best things about art fairs
- I guess the Sales would be the obvious, but talking to all the people just makes me smile :)
- Best show ever and why
- All the shows I have done have been good, (but one), so I can't pick out one singly as best
- Worst show ever and why
- Nov. 2009, Estero, Fl, Fine Art Show.
The weather was warm, but the winds were so horribly high, it took 250# of sand on the windward side of the tent to hold it down.
Only about 60 of the advertised 250 artists showed up, and the crowds were low. I also got a small painting stolen right under my nose.
