This past weekend on July 10th to the 12th, I once again participated in McMinnville's "Who's on Third? - Artist Village". This year, the canopies were set up two streets down on Cowls Street. This was a much better spot because we were in the middle of foot traffic as people went from live concert to the next and visiting vendors along the way. The weather was much cooler than last year, as well. No 90+ degree heat to scare art patrons from melting asphalt. Sunrise Rotary, the sponsor for this event, decided to have the public vote on their favorite work of art — The People's Choice Award for First, Second and Third. Over 20 artists participated this year which made it an incredible festival of talent.
It was great to see people coming back from last year and remembering me. More than one occasion I was greeted with "I remember you from last year, I love your art" or "I saw you on tv and I had to see your work". That made this event really special for me. I was thrilled to visit with each of them talk about my paintings. This makes me realize that I am developing a following of admirers and collectors of my art. Thank you to all those that bought art and stopped into my canopy.
