Bank holiday events

On Saturday 25 I spent the day at the Dorset Gallery Art and Craft Fair in Wareham Town Hall. Numbers of visitors varied through the day, in the afternoon I took to sketching outside and guide quite a number of people inside.

Thanks to those who commented on my art and those that bought cards too. An event I may do again in 2018 as double booked for December.

Sunday 26 I spent a wet morning on duty at Wareham Boat Hire. We had a booked group who went out despite the wet conditions. After we had packed up at the start of lunchtime I headed over to the Vintage event at Purbeck Artisan Yard. I enjoyed a cream tea with fellow artist Eddie Burrows.

I then based myself in bay H next to my work and drew two new small canvas pieces which are now for sale. I had an interesting chat about my sunset card from December 2017 showing Swyre Head and Houns Tout ridges in profile.

My next task needs to be an art storage area at home in the warmth and dry conditions of the house to store prints, originals and mount board sets, oh and of course card stock.

My next booked event is Meet the artist ie me at Purbeck Artisan Yard on September 15 on my next duty.
