I really appreciate the art walk movement because it's such a great way to bring local communities and artists together. I got to chat a bit with the artist who sold me his painting and got to tell him I how much I liked his work. I've learned that we artists need to affirm one another . . . and support one another by actually buying art! I've decided to start collecting, and I do have a small collection right now, but I'd like to make more room in my life and budget for art collecting. That reminds me, I need to start selling my own work . . .
I also bumped into the man who modeled for my life drawing class I took a few years ago in Costa Mesa. It wasn't awkward at all--we had a nice chat.
