I entered the July 4, 2014 Lena Day arts and crafts show. This town is about an hour's drive north of my house in Ridgeland, MS. The best part of the day for me was that I sold my 100th painting! In seventeen years, I have now sold 100 paintings. It was a watercolor of a cat. The girl who bought it, took a photo of us and posted it online somewhere. That was a very uplifting feeling.
The show itself was lacking in handcrafted art. Most of the booths had factory items. That was not a positive development as far as I was feeling. However, this is the second time that I have entered that show, and both times I managed to sell something. I can't look down on it.
