Art Literally & St. David's COTA Success

This is the second year in a row that Kevin and I participated in the the St. David's Celebration of the Arts in Dewitt and Watertown's Art Literally art shows. Despite the ailing economy we enjoyed good sales at both.

I sold an original abstraction at St. David's and Kevin sold two digitally manipulated photographs.

The Watertown show which benefits the Watertown Library and the Northern New York Red Cross was also very good to us. I sold an original pastel landscape and Kevin sold two photographs.

All together between the two shows our sales totalled almost $1,200.00 of which almost half went to the charity sponsors and the balance back to the artists.

I do not know the totals for the shows but indications are that they may have been down slightly but still good fundraisers for the sponsors.

Up next - The TUG HILL PLEIN AIR PAINT OUT on Sunday June 21 at Constable Hall in Constableville, NY. This invitational event features 20 of the top plein air painters in the region who produce work that is auctioned off at the end of the day to benefit the Tug Tomorrow Land Trust. Hope to see you there!
