Good to know that at one time or another we all have experiences such as this. Thank you for your encouraging comments. Now, why would the judge chuckle instead of giving a "newbie" encouragement.Lokelani Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653502523287408543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162622965236233135.post-84507684690323522172009-10-10T08:03:43.543-07:002009-10-10T08:03:43.543-07:00Lokelani, thanks for sharing this experience! Bro...Lokelani, thanks for sharing this experience! Brought back memories of my first outdoor festival show! Oh my goodness what an awakening that was. I had zero sales and I'm sure the judge chuckled when she passed by my booth! However, this is how we learn and grow! Your work is beautiful and my hat is off to you too!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123711998908894938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162622965236233135.post-70163433887837913872009-10-10T08:00:54.103-07:002009-10-10T08:00:54.103-07:00Sheila...I, too, thought those reasons for not exh...Sheila...I, too, thought those reasons for not exhibiting also, plus the fact that it is such a hassle to get everything together, packed up, then having to set up; but took the plunge anyway. I would rather just be at my easel painting than to get out there and show what I've been doing. As far as intimidating...the first time is always the hardest. Go for it and good luck.Lokelani Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653502523287408543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162622965236233135.post-41828027640058956552009-10-09T14:52:23.778-07:002009-10-09T14:52:23.778-07:00Well my hat's off to you Lokelani because you ...Well my hat's off to you Lokelani because you did something I have not even thought of trying because 1. I don't think I have a big enough and consistent body of work and 2. it just looks intimidating!<br /><br />So good for you for trying something new and taking good things from a challenging situation. Your work looks beautiful in any setting. Your hibiscuses pops!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599714103955686190noreply@blogger.com
