Like I said in my last entry, I am the definition of a "starving artist" personified.

So, I thought I'd put up a few of my paintings here and see what happens. Yes, it's a shameful show of self promotion, but what the hell, I've never been accused of being a shrinking violet!

I have started painting again. No, I stillllllllllllllllll haven't got my own wheelchair back yet, but I just couldn't stand it anymore - my creative juices were overflowing!

Except for "Rascal Houdi on a Yellow Rug", these paintings are all new.

Another day at the St. Lawrence Market has come and gone again. I'm exhausted. but happy! It was, indeed, a successful day!

I'm not sure if I mentioned this one customer in my last entry, but she's a very nice woman from Lebanon who ordered a painting of her grandfather's house from me a couple of years ago. Last week, she ordered 4 packs of cards from me (with her grandfather's house on them), and today she picked them up. She also bought my "Red Rose in Full Bloom" and "Rascal Houdi on Yellow Rug". Lebanon will love them, she said.

It kind of stung to let go of that painting of Rascal. He and Hershey are like my children, and I feel like I've sold one of Rascal's baby pictures to someone. However, I know its going to a good and loving home. Besides, Rascal is such a ham I'll be painting his cuteness soon enough!

It was a fantastic day at St. Lawrence Market yesterday!

It was very busy, people were very friendly, I made a lot of sales in cards - and I sold a painting! Woo
hoo!

This large, amiable man from Texas wanted to buy my "Nude Woman Reclining on Sofa", but his wife wouldn't allow the purchase, saying that she wanted to be the only naked woman in their home. So, I suggested my "From the Perspective of Three Tulips" to him and he bought it right away.

And then, when I had packed up all my artwork, Sarah and I met Jen and went to Tim Horton's to relax and chat. It was a bitter-sweet gathering because Sarah and I knew this would be one of the last times we'd see Jen before she left for Berkley. Jen an I exchanged gifts. I gave her an autographed copy of my new book "The Artwork of Anne K. Abbott" and she gave me two of her beautiful photographs, framed, of me painting in the nude.
