Our annual Lemonville Group of Artists 2025 Art Show and Sale is over for another year, and was considered a success, even though the economy isn't flourishing right now. A total of 23 paintings were sold over the 2.5 days.... actually a good number considering we are 14 people, a mixture of amateur artists, some have been painting for most of their lives, and some are beginners.
Three of mine are shown here, the lone tree with the purple sky in the first photo, and the long grass habitat and the blue reflection in the second pic.
There's a lot to do to put on a show like this. We use a local Community Centre, and the Town workers install the lights and the picture hanger wires, and set up the tables for us. The art works are hung on Friday afternoon, ready for the opening at 7pm. Of course lots of advertising needed, signs to be installed in the neighbourhood, snacks and nibbles and lemonade to be provided to our patrons, wrapping for the sold pictures, soothing music in the background.
I was astonished (and very pleased) that I actually sold four pieces. It's very satisfying to think that something I created will be hanging on the wall of someone's house. I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
