Tour Monday
Monday, the final day of the tour, was another beautiful, fall day. Traffic was a little lighter, but the total weekend traffic was great, exceeding the June tour. Thanks to all who made the trip, and to those who could not, remember you can still come anytime, just give me a call ahead. Christmas is coming!
Sunday Tour update
Sunday was a very busy day with 64 visitors coming through for the Tour. Looks like another beautiful day today for the finale. I'd say yesterday's comment of the day on my paintings was "mischievous". I liked that, and agreed.
Studio Tour in progress
Had 46 people visit my studio yesterday, including folks from DC, NH, and all over MA. I have my coffee and am ready for more today and tomorrow. The feedback has been great, especially on "Tapestry" (the paint's still drying). Lots of smiles when people step into the studio and look around.

There are 23 studios to visit, so reviewing the artisans ahead of time, selecting your top interests, and planning your route will save you time.
