Alamo Kiwanis Western Art Show



Well, I just got home from the Alamo Kiwanis Club Western Art Show in San Antonio. This is one of the Alamo Kiwanis Club's two big fundraisers for the year. There were lots of people in attendance @ $100/person. However, there were not a lot of buyers. This was my first year, so I don't have anything to compare to, but I heard about how wonderful this show was in '08, and how bad '09 was. Well, I guess '10 followed suit with '09. I did sell one small painting, Road in the Hills. This is from some sketches I did near Blanco, TX. The other painting, Cactus Flowers, was also in the show. I got lots of compliments, but just the one sale. I am thankful for it, and it is for the benefit of a good cause. I enjoyed it, and got to spend some time with some great friends!
