Encouraged and aknowledged

These words come in mind when I have to describe the overall idea that is left with me after participating in Art in the Park. There was a big amount of visitors and there more and more artists showing their work, the event is growing and successful. Big compliments for our parttime island lady from Boston that organises this all, thank you Barbara!

These panels were sold the very moment they were hung, what a start! And I felt sorry for the folks that were disappointed when they saw the stickers SOLD.

The weather was fantastic (no rain this year), there was live music and all in all I look back at a very busy day with lots of interested people, surprisingly there were many men too which showed real interest in my art. There might be a few commissions following, I even met two nice ladies that live on the island and want to work with me.

I have been talking with people from Canada, Rhode Island, Colorado, St. Louis and many more places, so at the end of the day I was thinking in English (that being Dutch), I felt like having done a workshop and maybe you recognize the feeling that your head is full with all this new information.
So: back to work now, in the direction that is more clear for me. I feel encouraged and aknowledged by the words of some of the visitors that said (a little stunned!)

this is amazing, this is eh... this is ART!

Thanks for reading!
