This weekend marked this season's version of the St. Paul Art Crawl in St. Paul, Minnesota. I saw the opportunity as a chance to have an artistic presence in St. Paul besides the State Fair. The openings were at the Rossmor Building. I was assigned to a space on 4th floor with several other artists. Though everyone said the traffic was slow and with the poor economy there weren't many sales, it was still an opportunity to meet some interested people and to talk about the paintings. Most people wanted to know where the garden is? or did I make it up? How long did it take? After a while the artist next to me, Chris and I would just watch how people walked past the art or tried to avoid talking to the artist. It is always harsh to have someone walk quickly past the work.
The natural light gave the paintings a nice glow.
Now I know how the people feel that work the trade shows. After about 12 hours you just want to have a nice conversation or a little appreciation for the work on the wall.
