I recently went to an art show at Main Street Gallery in
Lakeport. My friend, Elaine Lewis, the artist who illustrated my book cover for
Water Over Time, invited me. She
wanted me to bring a few books that I might sell. I was excited to see Elaine’s
paintings and be part of the show. After pinning on a name tag and meeting two
of the gallery’s organizers and a few of the artists, I sat down at a table to discuss
my books. It was a lovely affair with live music and a wine tasting
along with goodies to eat. I’m told they host these art and wine parties the
first Friday of every month, called First Friday Fling.
Elaine and I enjoyed hearing the positive feedback for both
her paintings and my book cover. Hopefully you will have a chance to visit this
gallery. There is something for everyone, watercolors, oils, pastels, pencil
drawings, photography, and jewelry. Also on display: turned wood and metal
sculpture. Very cool. And don’t forget to admire my books! They will be
featured along with Elaine’s art through the month of January.

Congratulations to you both! Looks like a successful event. I love the idea of mixing all kinds of art together in one gallery. Cheers, Victoria
What a great opportunity.
I hope you have more chances like this to show your work. : )
You described the environment and the event in a most enticing way, Barb. Sounds like a perfect place to have your beautiful books on display. I hope you make many sales, too.
Thanks, Vickie. It is fun to be mixed in with such talented artists. Elaine tells me the events are always well attended. Artists seem to have a lot of support in the Lakeport community.
Thanks, Patsy. This little book has been lucky in that way.
Thanks for the kind words, Laura. Lots of sales for poetry? One can only dream. Just knowing my books are out there is a good feeling.
