Outback Art Fair and gasping for breath

This is an incredibly busy time of year for me. The Outback Art Fair is this weekend, and I've been painting like crazy! I like to have at least two brand new pieces to show at the Outback. With all the commissions I've had, things have been busy. Still, I managed to complete four new paintings. Below are two of them.

Cool, Clear Stream 250.00

The Trail to Little Presque Isle 325.00

   The Outback is my Superbowl. It's my chance to sell to a mass crowd, and make contacts for the upcoming year. It's fun and stressful all at once. No matter how much time I give myself to get ready, I always feel under the gun. I always manage to forget something. 
   This year's stress level has been further exasperated by a busy work schedule, a new position as Vice President of the Marquette Symphony Orchestra, and the Presidency of West End Community Arts Network.
   I wouldn't change a thing at this point. The stress is usually worth it! Next week I'll have a lot to write about, good or bad! 
   Thanks for bearing with me!
