A wrap up of The Deerfield Show
I finally received the lost shipment of paintings and prints. All accounts are squared away. Many thanks to Jim Higgins for manning the booth and all the help. And to the show committee for allowing me to have a surrogate artist.
My furnace has still not been repaired. 1 month now. We lost all the food in the fridge and freezer. I recovered most of the canned goods. We won't see the final cost to all this until it warms. Right now the wind chills in Beach lake are around 20 below. Ouch!. It's something like -5 here in NYC.
I lost something like 10k last year on show related expenses. Travel, meals, booth fees, slide and product. And a similar amount on outfitting my studio and producing paintings, scan etc.. My gross income was somewhere around $3,000 for 8 shows. Not good. The biggest percent of show expenses were the booth fees and applications. Not gas or food.
I'll take the rest of this year off from shows, I've started a job, and I'll keep my ear to the ground. I'll probably stay at the job.
