ART IN THE PARK--WATERCOLOR, FLORIDA

 To my dismay, I only get to do a show at the beautifully appointed WATERCOLOR Community once a year.
 The third Saturday in March is always circled far in advance of this event. Although not really "Florida Weather" just yet, it is a far cry from the chilly conditions in the Metro Atlanta region.
 The ladies of MONARK EVENTS  have everything planned out and in place when we show up. At this show I do not even have to worry with a tent, table, or chair! They have all that already in place with plenty of extra room in the bargain.
 As I have gotten older, I have cut back on the number of out of town trips that I make for show. But, if I could do a show at Watercolor once a month, I would be there, and probably the first one in line! It is just that good.
 The customers that I have met there are unlike most other shows. These people know that they can afford my pieces and do not play games like those who just wished they could.
 It is either buy or not buy, and either way, they are very complimentary and I have been thanked often for coming to them and giving them a chance to buy unusual items without them having to travel to look.
It takes a little getting used to; having people thanking you for taking their money, but I have managed to take care of it. Google: WATERCOLOR, FL. for a truly relaxing vacation spot. It may be a little pricy, but you will get what you pay for--you can thank me later.

SEASIDE COMMUNITY YARD SALE!

SEASIDE is a coastal community along County Road 30-A in Walton County, Florida. It is probably midway between Destin and PCB.
Twice a year they hold what is referred to as a "yard sale", but let me tell you, it is like no other you have ever seen.
The SALE only last from 8am until 1pm. That's right, just 5 hours to do your business. And what a business I do.
The pictures of the crowds that you see here are constant from before the 8am start until I have to ASK customers to stop buying. If you don't stop at the cut off time, you will not be allowed back to the next sale.
If you like making money, then going to some really good restaurants as a reward for your hard work, this is the place.
Send me a message sometimes if you would like to know about this exciting place in the sun, sand, and surf!

TAILGATE SEATS ARE BIG FOR US!







These are some of the pieces that Janet painted in last year, with more to come this year.

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA!

I am headed to Tallahassee for the annual MARKET DAYS at the Fairgrounds. Since the show is only 3 blocks from FSU, you get a lot of customers looking for college related items.
So why not put something on the jeans I will be wearing to catch the attention of the passers-by.

LAWN CHAIRS AND MILK CANS!


LSU was paid the tribute that they earned this year, by Janet painting the resemblance on a vintage lawn chair and an antique dairy milk can(which when an antique tractor seat-in yellow- is added makes a great tailgate seat). 
When the rest of the chair is assembled, it is truly unique. Then metal frame is yellow in contrast to the purple.
Although these photos do not show the true colors, you can bet that they are.

T-REX DINOSAUR-YARD ART

As many of loyal followers know (those that are on parole and have access to a computer), I deal in yard art. Nothing is too big or too small, too incorrect, jaw-dropping, or just down right fun
.
Well this T-Rex is just such an example. He(or she) is 9 ft, high and 9 ft. long, just the right size to catch the attention of passing motorists and that piss-ant president of the home-owners association. Depending on where you live, I am sure that "T" violates at least half a dozen zoning codes and probably some state laws as well, all the things that make him(her) a must have for your home.

I have used this THUNDER LIZARD to draw crowds at the festivals that I do from all over the South. I can not count the number of times that I have turned down fair offers for him; I was having too much fun to part with him.

Alas, we have come to the end of an era. I have moved to a new home and there is just no place for him. It is not because of the neighbors or anything like that, the property just is not suited for him to sit level and be the menacing creature that he should be.

I would love to find a good home for the dinosaur. That does not mean I want to give him away, but rather, I have decided to sell the fella for what I gave for him. If you would like to own something that would draw attention to your business, be a great tax deduction, a local landmark, most assuredly increase your traffic flow, then give me a call.

I you know anything about me at all it is DON'T WASTE MY TIME! If you are just curious as to how much it cost, save your phone call, I will only give information to serious inquiries.
