Creativity, Connections and Sales at 6 Feet Apart

I woke to a bright, sunny Thursday morning with neighbors out walking, riding bikes, and enjoying the warmer weather. It had been 2 weeks since our "Stay at Home" order by the state of Illinois in hopes to slow the spread of COVID-19. Juried Art Fair applications are due soon which require a booth photo so I set up my art fair booth in the front yard then sent out an invitation to view my paintings making sure to keep a safe distance of 6 feet apart.

It was a successful event and a lot of fun visiting with neighbors and friends keeping our social distance and taking in the fresh air.

This spur of the moment decision on Thursday morning to send out an invite began as a seed planted in my mind then confirmed by a friend suggesting I make it an event. Love the creative ways to connect and bless one another without getting too physically close.

Much to be thankful for...

Focusing on the beauty of creation, the love of our heavenly Father and eternity with Him gives me great joy and hope for the day to day especially in times like this. The Lord can inspire us and help us keep moving forward when we turn our eyes upon Him. Serving one another and our communities takes the focus off ourselves and blesses everyone in the midst of trials. It is a joy listening to praise and worship music as I paint God's creation and sweet to see the work of my heart and hands find a home.

The highlight of Art in My Yard was selling this painting to a lovely couple down the street who we had the pleasure of meeting for the first time at my solo exhibit. I also made connections for a few possible commission paintings.
