PAW 2019 day seven, 31st May, end of week one …

Better weather today but so much quieter and hardly any walkers passing for most of the day. The sun came out consistently from 3 onwards. In the morning a family friend Suzanne dropped by and then two walkers, one from Australia and the other a DAW (Dorset Art Weeks) artist popped in. The day was looking to be very quiet. In the afternoon I even got the guitar out to play a bit and also completed the “PAW studio in PAW 2019” piece too.

The main reason visitors came today was that they were passing and found me by accident – it is very touching that under these circumstances that people take a break in their walks. Also in the afternoon I cycled up to the car park,

where visitors are asked to park, to find very few cars there.

So visitor numbers in total today eventually grew to 17 giving a week one figure of 245 visitors and 19 dogs. Sales are ticking along consistently with card sales.

Art cards for today:

I completed the original art piece “PAW studio in PAW 2019” as it was warm enough to draw.

I also wore the new art clothing as it is so far, a great topic for conversation today from several visitors.

By the end of the afternoon the sun and shade made the studio look different and a photo from friend and visitor Simon of the foxglove growing outside the studio.

I was asked by a fellow PAW artist what was my target for this year? My answer really is just see who comes, what they buy and to enjoy making art and have others try too.

This is clearly different from some PAW artists whose art is the main source of their earnings, but as long as I enjoy my art making, others care to visit and maybe buy some I am happy. So thanks to all my visitors this week and I look forward to seeing all this when come over the next nine days.
