That’s an optimistic title, wouldn’t you say?
The store at the Silver City Resort below Mineral King has a projected opening date of June 5. (I still call the whole place the Silver City Store although it has become an almost swanky resort instead of a little mountain store.)
My oil paintings sell very well there each summer. I have high hopes for this year in spite of the Shut Down.
When the manager said they were ready for my paintings, I spread them all out, and then made decisions. Eventually I hope all will make it up the hill, but we only show about 10 at a time.
It is always a guess – how many of which subjects and which sizes?
Every year I think I have it figured out, and often end up cranking out paintings mid summer because something popular has sold out in a certain size. This year’s paintings are heavy in wildflowers.
This summer is full of more unknowns than usual. As always, more will be revealed in the fullness of time.
