Salamanca Market, March 4, 2023

Hello!

The mornings are getting darker and fresher, but the day turned out to be perfect, not too hot or cool.

My first customer was somebody here for the 2023 Australasian Newborn Hearing Screening Conference, where they test the hearing of babies when they are in the womb. She purchased a “White Faced Scops Owls” and “Glamour Girls” print. I also had somebody from New Zealand, who bought some of my art five years, buy a “White Faced Scops Owls” print. She searched me out, she said.

My next visitor was from Geraldton, Western Australia (WA). She purchased a “Lazy Days” tote bag. https://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/geraldton-wa

I had somebody from Sydney, who had just finished doing the Three Capes Walk in glorious weather, buy a “Bunk Beds” and a “Dinner for Five???” print. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/wombats/products/copy-of-sleepy-head-series-bunk-beds-wombat-watercolour

A couple from Townsville, Queensland https://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/townsville-qld  purchased “A Spot of Happiness” and “Lazy Days” prints. They’ve been enjoying Tasmania for three weeks and are heading home tomorrow.

A couple from Perth, WA bought a “The Three Amigos II” print. Earlier in the week they had bought a “Double Date V” print from Brooke Street Pier. https://www.facebook.com/TigerInaPaperaUniqueWoodcraftsalamancagallery/

A family from Geelong purchased “Storytime” and “Goldilocks and the 20 Penguins” prints and a “Silent Disco” and “Glamour Girls” cushion covers. They said it easy to come to Tassie with the Spirit of Tasmania leaving from Geelong now.

A couple from the UK bought a “Sitting on the Fence” print for their daughter. She loves birds and has a lot of European birds hanging up in her house. They think that she would like an Australian one to add to her collection.

I met Wolfram from Austria who is here for work. He’s here developing something technical to help stroke patients. He purchased a “Salamanca Saturdays” and “Glamour Girls” print.

A couple from St Marys, Tasmania purchased a “Double Date V” and a “Maggie” print. She wants to take her art to the next level.  https://pjpaintings.com/collections/birds/products/maggie-a-print-of-a-watercolour-painting-of-a-australian-magpie https://pjpaintings.com/collections/birds/products/double-date-v-superb-blue-fairy-wren-prints

My final customer of the day was from Nebraska, United States. She purchased three prints: “The Three Amigos II”, “Home Among the Gum Trees” and “Devilish Siesta”. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/birds/products/the-three-amigos

Until next week, take care and have fun being creative.
