Blissful Pumpkin 1st Market Day Sketch/Drawings

How I passed the time while selling my Portraits and Mixed Media Art Prints at my very first market.

Dancing Angel Market Sketch


Little Birdie Market Sketch
Although I only sold one 5x7" matted art print, I enjoyed the time out from normal family life and it gave me time to draw, while attending my stall. I planing on doing it again next month and will have my fingers crossed until then.

    You made good use of your time. I've had my share of slow market days, too! Kathryn

    I've had tough market times, too! It will get better. Don't let that discourage you. Your drawings are wonderful and things will pick up...you are so talented!!

    Oh thank you Angelself and Sunny.
    I really enjoyed being there and it was quiet time that I wouldn't have gotten had I been at home (I have 3 kids 6,5 and 4). Although my daughter came with me and enjoyed herself also. She did a little drawing also. Like mother, like daughter.

    I look forward to next months market, but in the meantime I will try to go to a different market, which is more artsy oriented.

    Thank you both for your encouragement. It really does help. Big hugs to you both.

    The sketches you made are lovely! Can't wait to see them finished. Hopefully things will pick up at the market the next time you appear. :) Theresa

    Thank you Theresa,
    I have my fingers crossed. There were lots of positives aspects of my first market experience, so all was not lost.

    I love markets! Meeting all the different types of people is so interesting. They always want to buy something on your stall that isn't for sale, like the display stand!

    Hi Rossy,
    Lol. I did enjoy myself. I'm looking forward to the next one. I can't do much worse. Well, hopefully I don't. =)

    I enjoy going to these also, and sometimes sales are slow, but like you, I make the most of my time. I like just getting out and talking to people and catching up with other artist friends.

    Hi, Kyles! Thanks for the comment on my sketchbooks on my blog. I do sell them (when I find the time to make them!)

    These are just so beautiful and I can't wait to see them in their full colour. Time well spent at the market.

    Thank you Di, Linda and Anjas,

    I did some very nice people while I was there. If I had been at home I wouldn't been able to get these drawings done.

    Hopefully I'll colour them this week.

    Thank you ladies.

    Yeah...I know about the "time thing"!! I actually make about 5 different types of journals, some with sewn in pages, some with spiral bound, etc. They sell really well...I wish I would take the time to do more of them but they only happen when I feel inspired! I have about 15 of them in varying stages right now....hmmm...maybe tomorrow?! I did make 3 new dollies today (the ones from the cabin this weekend)..yahoo! Hopefully pictures on my blog tomorrow or the next day,
