On Saturday, September 19, I participated in the first annual Comfort Fall Art Walk in the beautiful Texas Hill Country town of Comfort. It's lovely, picturesque, and FULL of antique shops. My tent was set up in the driveway of Blackbird Antiques in the Historic District. The shop is owned and run by Karen Frias, who proved to be a very friendly and helpful "Hostess". She comes to work every day with her two little Pugs, Molly and Hudson. They are just too adorable, and sleep on little antique beds in the shop. I did a lot of "schmoozing" with them - they give such wonderful puppy kisses!
My husband , Dan, sacrificed his whole day to help me - Thank You, Honey! Besides helping with the unloading, setting up, and reloading, he visited with the shoppers, scouted out the surrounding artists, and brought me lunch.
Many people inquired about getting portraits of their own pets, and showed me pictures and shared stories about their "little darlings". I really enjoyed it and got to visit with some dogs walking their People around!
I had a table set up with a bowl of candy for the folks and natural biscuits for the doggies. In the photos you can also see the painting of the duckling I was working on, as well as a pastel I did on a piece of sketch paper of my boy, Gus, from a photo. (It's to the right of my blue photo album, under my bag of Oreo cookies!)
Now I am getting ready for the River Art Show which is in San Antonio October 3 and 4. it's in the Historic La Villita District, and I will be in the Villita Assembly Building. I'll be back soon with photos of some different things I am trying out!
