I had to share a very cool thing that happened at my latest art show with all my fellow LJ’s.On the third day of doing the La Quinta art show and trying not to get bumbed out about the poor sales I was having and all the other artist as well(thanks to the current economy).I had of all people come into my booth Sam Maloof and his wife Beverly !!!I had taken classes from Sam and been to his house about 5 years ago but to actually have him see my work and ask about it was just very uplifting .He sat in one of the chairs asked about my rocker and stuff but was very interested in my carved bowls and vessels and my use of the turquise.He shook my hand twice and said he hoped that I would have great success and to hang in there.As he left I watched him walk by another wood booth that was just down from me and just kind of hesitated and looked from the isle then kept walking so that even further pumped me up(I did feel a little bad for that guy).In all the show sales were very poor for the #8 juried art show in the nation but I walked away with one of the greatest experiences in my woodworking career and will always charish those 15 minutes I had with Sam talking about my work. -- Scott NM,http://www.shangrilawoodworks.com |
