Visit to the Falconry Fair
The Falconry Fair over the Bank Holiday was my first foray into the world of face to face retail and it was really great. We had lots of positive feedback and met some really nice people. Carl and Joanne Bass were in the next pitch and were really helpful and generous with their advice, Carl is a fine wildlife artist artist and I was grateful for his encouragement. I expected to learn a lot and I did! We have already signed up for a pitch at the Falconry Festival in Reading in July and hope to be better prepared for that. Anyway now that my first fair is out of the way I can get back to the business of painting wildlife. We had a pair of Siskins visiting the garden a couple of weeks ago and they were so bold I was able to get some good photographs and will make this my next subject.
