I spent a portion of today setting up a tent in my back yard in order to get this picture. I understand that many art fairs require that this be included in the application. I do hope it isn't too obvious but I got a little lazy and only set up two walls.
What a lot of work when the sides of the tent don't fit properly! I do NOT recommend the Costo version of this Caravan tent (even if it was a bargain). It is not fireproof, and I suspect that it iwill not be very rain proof.
As to doing a demo, I just cannot face the thought of it right now. My purpose is to sell landscapes and still life directly and get some feedback from the public about this part of my work. Having a gallery sell my work prevents me from ever knowing who buys my work and why...not to mention that painful 40% (or more) that they take.
I do, however, plan to show just one portrait at a show and keep my portfolio handy. The economy must be improving a bit as I am starting to get more portrait commissions lately.
