Greetings All.
This past weekend, Oct. 24 - 25, 2009, in the 22nd Annual Las Olas Art Fest, I participated in my first outdoor art show of the 2009/10 season. This was also my first show in my relatively new endeavor as Greg Sherman Art LLC.
In spite of the weather-- some rain and very hot, humid conditions-- and relatively weak sales for all artists, overall it was a success for me in many respects. I made some nice sales of several small originals, many prints-- Giclees both on canvas and paper-- and established many good prospects for future sales. Overall, the large crowd was pleased with my work and that is a nice feeling.
Many good friends dropped by and I thank them for that. And, I meet many new people.
My new display tent and components worked out well, and is not that difficult to get into place (Saturday began at 5:00 AM with artists getting their tents and art in place-- builds character).
My next show is this coming weekend in the Downtown Venice Art Festival which I am looking forward to. I'll have more information about this show in another posting during the coming week.
Please see a couple of photos above of some lifelong friends that came down from Jupiter: in the photo with me is Mary Clark, my late Mom's best friend of 40+ years. They were also painting partners, and individually and together widely respected and successful painters in the Palm Beach County area for many years. In the other shot is Mary, her eldest son, Michael and his wife Ellen. Michael (and his three younger brothers) together with me and my brothers and sisters go back 40+ years with many fond memories of the Shermans and Clarks getting together regularly.
Also showing with this posting is my most recently completed golf landscape, "PGA National, Championship Course, Number 16."
Be well, and hope to see you soon. Greg
