With a busy summer of shows slowly coming to an end, Cheri and I have had a moment to reflect on how things have gone this year, and it has really been an outstanding year for us so far.
This was our first year involved with the Western Showcase at the Calgary Stampede and it couldn’t have gone better. Although it was a record low for attendance due to the horrible weather that fell upon the Stampede almost every day of the show, we still managed to have good fortunes shine on for us. As many of you may already know, if you follow our facebook page, we were honoured on the opening evening with being awarded the Silver Belt Buckle for Best of Show for 2D work. That came as a major surprise as we were surrounded by amazing artists whose work I have admired for years. Although the show started off a little slower than we had anticipated, the interest and response to the work was great, and after a bit of time the sales started to really pick up nicely for us as. Many of the larger paintings that I created for this show found homes among new clients. We had the great opportunity to have met some incredible collectors whose support and passion for my art is sincerely appreciated.
