From Plein Air Artist Robert Simone…

 
When I was invited to participate in the Saturday Art Market I was reluctant to say the least. My first impressions were based on Williams Park’s reputation as a campground for the homeless. I also hesitated because, Saturday is usually my day to do whatever I want, no commitments. I finally agreed to try it and was pleasantly surprised. My first day I sold a painting and some prints. I made money and it was easy. In fact I made money every time I participated. The final Saturday was the best.More importantly I made some new friends. I felt a sense of welcome and camaraderie from the diversely eclectic group of regular vendors. I enjoyed my Saturdays spent with the talented and creative people such as Caleb, Laura, Bill, Twin and others. We laughed, joked and otherwise chewed the fat. It was a side of the weekly event I did not anticipate. As a result my artistic vision was stretched beyond it’s normal limit. Were there homeless people in park? Yes, they were just like the people with homes. For the most part friendly, respectful and quick to complement me on my art.

Hello Everyone!!!

Tomorrow is the last Saturday of our inaugural season - so hard to believe!

St Petersburg Grand Prix Weekend

 

…Was pretty slow for us, because non-motor-heads, our target audience, wisely stayed away from downtown. Still, the weather was great, and certain artists inexplicably sold print after print. Must be “talent”, or “great art” or something irrelevant like that.
