I wanted to be extra close to the venue, so I got a high end room essentially in Sausalito. I was lucky, I think, to break even. Others I spoke to did the same, although a couple of artists did well, and others did poorly. Typical spread, but definitely the crowd had thin wallets.<br /><br />Sign of the times.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-26178812758849697182009-09-23T20:24:46.385-07:002009-09-23T20:24:46.385-07:00P.S.

Thanks to my readership - also way up since the fair - that is a surprise, too.<br /><br />In one way, this is a feather in your cap for reading here, since you are all part of the process.<br /><br />Yes, it is for the body of work. To see it, click on the river series icon at The Colorist home page.<br /><br />Adam - I did wonder if the committee was coming to give me the boot (that happens). I took this as better than that.<br /><br />One wag at the fair described this as the "Art Fair Oscar" because of the notoriety of the Sausalito. I have 2 other awards from a higher authority, but in a strange turn of events, this one comes more as a "breakthrough" than those. Funny stuff.<br /><br />In another secret from the artist's box, I figured out how to double my quality before this show.
