Show season is nearly upon us…albeit a little delayed this year since my husband and I didn’t venture out to the spring shows we normally attend in IL and IN. This promises to be an interesting show season for me. I usually display glass; this will be the first outdoor show season traveling with paintings as well. In preparation for a blur of a summer, I have spent most of the winter creating pieces and our gallery has never been more lavishly stocked with fine art than just before this show season. This is a great time to shop but in a mere two weeks, it will nearly all be packed up and ready to go on the road. Our season starts with a short one day show in Valley Junction (Spring Art Market in West Des Moines 5/22). For those of you who have taken our Art and Craft show class, this is a great opportunity to observe how a show artist works from “load in” to the end of the show “load out”. The piece in the photo below is one of 30 currently in the gallery. You’ll find it nested among 30 paintings and a variety of other art pieces. Or, maybe you’ll see it on the road at an upcoming show.
