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.

Avocados and Insects

It's been a lazy day. Not that I'm complaining. I did manage to list a bumblebee painting on Etsy though... And here's the avocado painting I listed on Etsy yesterday... They're both going to the McHenry Market at McDaniel's General Merchandise in McHenry on March 9th. I don't usually do markets and craft shows, but this one is right in the middle of my (tiny) community and I'm looking forward to checking it out. It's a farmer's market with homemade items as well. And it's from 12-4 on a Saturday so I don't even have to wake up early. Sweet!

Red Apple

Another fractured subject, this red apple was the subject of Day 36 of my 90 day painting challenge. I love the colors in this one. It's listed for sale on Etsy here . I'm currently working on a commissioned portrait of 2 little girls and the grandmother they never had the chance to meet. I'll be sharing that here after it's been gifted. There's a party scheduled tonight for the recipient of my last portrait, so hopefully I'll be able to share that here soon.

Tomato Slice

One of my favorites! There's nothing like a fresh tomato sandwich with mayo and white bread. This slice of tomato was the subject of Day 45 of my 90 day painting challenge, and is listed for sale on Etsy here .
