I had come across a photo of a city with an inspiring quote and thought what a great idea for a wedding invitation.  It's perfect because it can change with whichever city the bride and groom are from or where they plan on getting married.

That's not even a fair competition.  There IS no competition between the two.  They are two different playgrounds.  I'm new to both this year so I am speaking from first experiences only.  The art fair was 3 days long outside in the heat of July and the two bridal shows I've done the past two weekends were one day each, 4 hours a day, indoor.  I was actually a little chilly.  There is just no comparison.

It's hard for me because I am not a salesperson.  Doing the bridal shows and even the art fairs you put yourself in the position of selling yourself.  I would like it if my work could sell itself and I just stay in the background behind my computer screen or easel.  I'm stretching far beyond my comfort zone.  In a way, it's nice to overcome this uncomfortable feeling though.

I do like combining some of my paintings in my invitations.  Brides, couples, mom's of the brides, etc., who came to my table had many of the same comments::  "different, unique, not like anyone else they've seen".  That was great to hear.

Below are some photos of the two shows.
