| Adirondack Stream, pastel on Ampersand Pastelboard by Adriana Meiss |
I survived the weekend! On Sat. I went to bed in the early hours of the morning, framing the painting above, that I had included in promoting the festival to everyone on my mailing list. Why was it then the last one left to be framed? I cannot answer that myself. Too many things were going on and it's obvious that I was not thinking clearly...
That same morning, on my way to the fest I had the feeling that it was going to be one of the worst events simply because I had not heard it advertised on the radio station of the previous year--instead, another similar event was being advertised for the same day. Well, it turned out to be one of the best! I'm happy so say that nine paintings were sold, among them one that I had shown many times before at other events, and I still had faith in finding a home for. I saw old friends, met new people, and got the chance to talk to some about the wonderful pastel medium.

This is truly a beautiful pastel painting, Adriana. The colors are perfect for this beautiful scene!!!
Thank you Hilda! It went through some changes in the clumps of grass, until I finally decided that enough was enough.
Great news, Adriana! I'm so glad to hear things went so well for you. You put a lot of work into these shows and of course your talent deserves to be rewarded.
Thank you Donna! I'm finally able to relax: no classes, no shows, no work for the time being. It feels good.
