My solo show, Around Here, in Tulare was originally going to consist solely of oil paintings. However, I asked the director if she also wanted pencil drawings, which normally attract attention but not sales, and she said, “Sure, why not?”
So, I gathered up my best framed pencil pieces and added them to the mix.
The director hung them on their own wall.
Well, saw off my legs and call me Shorty; shut your mouth and slap your grandma*, all that sold from the show was pencil drawings!**
*Heard that on a country song
**And many packages of notecards plus a few books.
Thanks, all y’all!
P.S. J.C. I can draw Sawtooth again for you if you’d like one of your own.

Your pencil drawings are amazing! It’s great that you decided to include them in your show. It must be impossible to guess what people will want to buy!
Michelle, I thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong. Just like a popular little book from the late ‘90s taught, someone moved my cheese!
“Many people” have good taste!
Sharon, you are right. But I am still just bewildered.
Hey, you drew my favorite Sawtooth scene! I have many-a photo of that view. <3
Sharon, apparently it is many people’s favorite Sawtooth scene!
