The Holiday Festival of the Arts booth did get set up, although I'll be rearranging slightly tomorrow. This post shows the initial set up.
I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of the messy work area, so what I'll show you today is the sort of tidy table where I'm finishing up some more matting of prints for the Holiday Festival. I'm also participating in a Handmade Holiday Market with other local Etsy sellers on Dec 13th, so making sure I have enough to tempt buyers.
And lest you think I'm not getting any art done, I started these wood watercolor gesso abstract paintings. I'm at the stage where I'm trying to figure out what will appear in the random patterns the watercolor and gesso mix created. These wood pieces were leftover bits from other projects.

I don't know why, but those wood abstracts look like watercolour out of focus roses to me! Already gorgeous!
Good luck with the sales..such a lot of work!
I am in a love-hate relataionship with my ATG at the moment. Cannot get the tapes to go round properly - perhaps because the tapes have gone totally out of shape from storage. Grrr!
Lovely makes on your desk - good luck with the sale.
Hugs and thanks for visiting me earlier - Neet 8 xx

Love your mattted prints. The abstract is gorgeous, such a fabulous effect. I can see a mass of flowers, like a huge bunch taken up close. Beautiful.
Have a great week and goodluck with your sales.

Your matted prints are beautiful, but I am in love with the WIPs. Very interesting I always enjoy watching gesso mix with the colors under it.

Oh, but we LIKE seeing messy work areas. It makes us feel so much better about our own untidy spaces. :-)

All the best for the festival - you are certainly getting lots together for it. Love the two paintings - I definitely see flowers already making an appearance - don't know what you see yet.
