Sept 17 Large 10x30 Farm Clouds Landscape No Reserve!

Hi Everyone
I am back from a very busy weekend. I did my first outdoor show and was very lucky that it was a beautiful day with no wind or rain only sunshine. I had a lot of fun meeting people face to face and seeing personal reactions to my art. Thank you for everyone who stopped by and made my day successful. Got to be honest...I was so nervous! I am usually a very strong person but have to admit that my stomach was doing flip flops last week. At one point I didn't know if I was getting sick or if it was just nerves. Soooo with one outdoor show under my belt I think I can do another one...next year.

I can now get back to listing and painting and being focused again.

Today's painting is for a large 10x30 original acrylic painting of a farm scene with big puffy clouds and a creek. I have this listed on ebay starting at only 9.95. I am getting brave starting auctions at this low price since they are getting bids. In an ideal world I would start everything at 9.95 with no reserve and hope to someday.

Paintings of Barns with Barn Quilts in Sac County Iowa

Here are 5 of the 8 paintings I have painted for the Sac County Iowa Barn Quilt Association. I am in the process of having notecards made so the group can sell them and keep a portion of the proceeds for fundraising.

They did not commission me to paint these but rather I am doing this of my own free will. I have been working closely with the group however.

I am originally from Sac City so felt a connection to this project and the hard working people of Sac County and was hoping I could do something to help. They need funds to keep making maps and brochures for tourists, (which they have gone through thousands the last few year). Maps and brochures can be expensive for a non-profit group so hopefully my note cards can help a bit.
