Bayou Downtown and Greeting Cards!

Headed to the Houston Bayou Downtown Festival this weekend. Show opens Saturday and runs through Sunday. If you are in the area, hope you will come by. It should be really nice weather for walking about and enjoying the fine arts and crafts of this fun show.

I have a new offering for the show – greeting cards with my “The Three Truths” image. I do not often create greeting cards but several folks at recent shows had asked about this image in particular so I decided to give it a try.

Depending on how they do at this show, I’ll make them available on the website and at other shows. These are on heavy-duty card stock and sized for regular mail postage. If someone is interested in a bulk order, we can discuss options.

Hope to see you at the show!

Bayou Festival Coming Up!

The Fall Art Season is in full swing! I just finished up a great time at the Cottonwood Arts Festival in Richardson, Texas. It was unusually hot for this time of year, but people came out and it was a great show.

My most popular piece was the “Three Truths”. Someone suggested I make this one into a Christmas Card and we are going to see if we can make that happen. I haven’t made cards in many years as it seemed that people had slowed down sending them. But it will be fun to see if this one can be adapted and how people will use it.

My next stop is coming up this weekend: Houston, Texas for the Bayou City Art Festival (Saturday and Sunday, October 12th and 13th). This is a well-attended show with a great lineup and I hope, if you are in the area, you will take time to attend.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Houston show. After that, I have just one more show for the Fall season – the Randy Brodnax and Friends Show. I really look forward to this one each year. It is a smaller venue and most of the artists and artisan crafters are long-time friends. Always some new faces as well and I look forward to the show and getting to know people. Plus – it is indoors! Always a blessing in the Fall/Winter!

Stay cool and see you in Houston or in Deep Elum at the Brodnax and Friends Show!

Cottonwood Art Festival

The Cottonwood Art Festival begins tomorrow! The hours are Saturday, 10:00 am – 7:00 pm, and Sunday, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. I am in a new location this year. As you come into the park gates off Belt Line, I am in the area on your right – 2nd row back. This is a nice shady area so I’m looking forward to people feeling more comfortable and spend longer looking at my work.

I have a number of originals that have not been shown previously at Cottonwood and am excited to see how folks respond.

This is a terrific event with a huge number of excellent artists and artisan crafters. I hope you will be able to make it out. I would enjoy hearing from you on my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ThoughtFullArt/ While there, a “Like” would be greatly appreciated! Catch you this weekend!
