It was great to be involved with so many good artists too.Ron Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-52874347933679306622011-09-08T08:43:11.802-07:002011-09-08T08:43:11.802-07:00Wonderful read Ron - sounds like a very exciting e...Wonderful read Ron - sounds like a very exciting event.

My gallery owner has a great shot of the painting as Linda was carrying it over to the auction so I'll post that when she sends me a copy. <br /><br />My painting sold at the live auction and I also had one in the Silent auction and it sold too. Didn't sell anything at the reception but the two other sales made up for that....plus I finally got to meet Ted Goerschner and Marilyn Simandle so that was really cool. Ted is such a nice guy, really nice to talk with on Saturday.<br /><br />All of the artists sold their work in the live auction thanks to the large crowd that showed up for the event. Of those artists who chose to have work in the Silent auction I'd say more than half sold. My piece in the Silent auction was a small 6x8 but a lot of artists had larger pieces in there. Ted had a huge signed print and it was sold. I only saw a couple of artists' sell at the reception and they were smaller works. <br /><br />I hope I get invited to participate next year. It was really a blast and so close to home for me. <br />RonRon Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-41082724329644221122011-08-26T22:37:01.025-07:002011-08-26T22:37:01.025-07:00Wonderful....

Wonder how the post was deleted....Hi Christine,<br /> Wonder how the post was deleted...hmmm. Anyway, wish you could have been there. It got off to a slow start but then as they did the introductions people started showing up like crazy...by the time we did the auction some people were still showing up. <br />It all went really great and I had a lot of fun but boy can it wear you out being out there all day like that. The whole thing was supposed to end at 4 or 5 but they ended up wanting us to stick around till 8, yuk!<br />Hope things are good with you Christine.<br />RonRon Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-63094041246974250082011-08-24T15:00:51.165-07:002011-08-24T15:00:51.165-07:00For some reason my post didn't show up!

Wish I could create a mosaic in a day - I'd love to participate. I'm glad for you that you sold two paintings and had a good time there. :)Christine Brallierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642989179700004816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-26307328159590795102011-08-24T14:58:30.981-07:002011-08-24T14:58:30.981-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christine Brallierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642989179700004816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-55191446605283666862011-08-22T11:08:47.596-07:002011-08-22T11:08:47.596-07:00Hi Maggie, A belated good morning to you! It's...Hi Maggie, A belated good morning to you! It's now late morning here and finished with the early errands. It really was a very good show and even with sales being off a bit I couldn't be happier. I grumble about the sales as do most of the artists here but it's getting more and more like talking about the weather...and that's scary. We are all eagerly waiting on better times to return and they will for all of us....globally!<br /><br />I posted the detail of Marilyn's painting with you in mind. Later that day I helped her load her other paintings into her car and she is such a sweetheart....very down to earth too. Ted was great and I always love seeing his work. I'm trying to figure out a way to get him to sign my copy of one of his books. That would be great to have happen. He's also well over 6 feet tall and I'm a mere 5'7 so even in size he intimidated me! hahaha. <br />A lot of the artists in the event were very impressive, very accomplished and I really was proud to be in the same show with them.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments Maggie, I really appreciate them!<br />RonRon Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173474868558565132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35145936.post-58747907142789496242011-08-21T22:02:48.585-07:002011-08-21T22:02:48.585-07:00Hi Ron, I just rolled out of bed here in the UK at...Hi Ron, I just rolled out of bed here in the UK at 5:30 am…switched on my computer and there was your post…. just posted! What a fabulous narrative of the event. Reading it I actually, felt as if I were there with you. Looks like you had great weather, very good company and even though the economy sucks right now for buyers (globally)…. you look and sound very happy! <br /><br />It must have been fantastic and quite an inspiration to have such acclaimed artists around you. You certainly don’t look like some one who would be intimidated by anything (lol), but you portray a heartfelt story of your meeting with Ted. <br /><br />Thanks by the way for posting a close up of Marylin's quick draw WIP (I was really hoping you would)…My God, it looks like a the beginnings of a watercolour, but in oil. I do so admire her work…. Wish I had been one of the audience…. events like this are far and far between in grumpy old England at the moment!!!!<br /><br />Shows are a lot of work and effort, but I can tell from the enthusiasm in your voice that the benefits of participating in a show like this is far more than about art sales. Off for my first coffee now…shame about not taking a pic of your finished entry…..maybe someone else did during the weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
