Yesterday, my Wife Susan and I attended Red Point Artists Makers Market (formerly known as Red Point Artists Art & Craft on the Grass), at the Red Point precinct in Port Kembla, (south of Wollongong) on the New South Wales coast.
It was a little bit different yesterday though as we formed part of the Annual Port Kembla Festival which included street stalls and live music up and down Wentworth Street, the main street in Port Kembla.
One of the highlights of the day was that I sold my 7th Watercolour painting, “Distant Mountains”, which appears below.
Materials:
- Baohong The Master’s Choice Artist Watercolour paper, rough, 300gsm 18cm x 26cm.
- Sumikondo Japonesque Watercolours
- Kuretake Gansai Tambi Japanese Watercolours
- Aquawash brushes
The lady who purchased it said it reminded her of where she grew up. Interestingly, the image/composition came from my imagination.
We never will truly know who will be interested in our creations. Just keep painting, sketching, and be confident enough to display your Art. Someone, somewhere may just have an emotional connection to your Art.
Till next time!
