McHenry Market March 9th

I don't usually do craft shows, fairs, etc., but I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone and taking part in a local market coming up in March. There will be fresh produce as well as handmade items such as soaps and candy. I'm actually looking forward to it! This will be the first one and it's about 4 minutes from my house. Of course, there's tons of work that needs to be done before then. I need to get a new canopy first. I'm hoping to do that towards the end of this month. I'm still researching which one would be best for shows in case I decide to do more in the near future. I need to order new business cards and figure out my display. I've started with inventory, and these are a few of the pieces that will be heading to market...

Dirt Road South Paintings




Some of these are currently listed on Etsy, and some of them (plus others) will likely be listed in the near future. I haven't listed anything new this week because I've been working more on the business end of things. But next week I should be getting back to the easel.

Any show tips? Let me know! I've only done a couple of them in the past so I'm definitely open to suggestions.

Petite Peacock Painting

I picked up this proud little peacock from the coffee shop yesterday to list in my Etsy shop. I like to offer these 4x4 minis as an affordable alternative to larger pieces. Plus they're just fun to do.You can find this one here .

Ice Cream and Oysters

No, I'm not pregnant. They're just my most recent listings on Etsy. The ice cream cone I picked up from the coffee shop on Monday, but the oyster is new. I think it would look good in a set, so I've been kicking around some ideas of sets of 3 in 4x4 or 6x6 groupings. Any ideas of good themes for groupings of 2 or 3? I'm feeling a coastal vibe lately, so maybe I'll go with that. I also agreed to do a market today! It doesn't start until March 9th, but I'm already getting excited about it. I don't do many shows or markets. In the past, they just haven't been very beneficial for business. But this... this is at the local mom & pop store about 3 minutes away from my house. I can't resist something that will bring exposure as well as benefit my community. So on Saturday, March 9th (and every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the months following), I'll be hanging out at McDaniel's General Merchandise for McHenry Market! I'm looking forward to

Green Apple

This was the result of day 49 of my daily painting challenge. I really like the texture on the canvas. It helped give a pleasantly unexpected result. It's listed on Etsy here .
