Old School Art Festival

Last weekend I traveled to enter this festival in Carthage, MS.  It was held in the closed school that was built in 1938 and closed in early '80's.  This town is a busy one, with many successful businesses, and some fine houses off the main highway.  I do happen to know some people in the area.  So I entered about 18 paintings in the indoor show, and I was happy to sell one.  It was an acrylic unframed painting of a barn.  I did not know the customer, so much the better.  Actually the people I know in the area did not really appear.  So what.  Maybe I will return to this show someday, but probably not next year.  Now I am deciding on what events to attend for the autumn season.
