Day 12 - Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibit

Artist Christine Crosby and her favorite "Black on Black"

We tend to think weekends are the best for sales, but today just goes to show us artists that we must always be prepared, especially for the "Suddenly Sale" - the buyer who waltzes through our tent, whether looking at art or just passing through to another venue, and is captured by an artwork that speaks so powerfully to something deep inside that the collector cannot leave empty-handed.

Just a sampling of the suddenlies today, here is another:
