Today we headed back to Trotter's Cafe to rearrange the exhibit of my artwork in the cafe. The September artist only wanted to hang her work in one room...so I got to keep some of my work up for a second month!
We took down all my work in the first room and then went to work changing things up in this second cozy room. I felt more relaxed about the whole thing, so I was able to snap some better pictures of the space.
Alongside one wall, there is a set of inset shelves--I put a few of my small paintings on the lowest shelf, along with my business cards and postcards.
We made some changes--mixing in some of the paintings that had been in the other room, changing how things were hung, and even adding a few different paintings. Here are some closer looks at my art.

I wanted things to look fresh for repeat visitors. I actually like the new look better. If you live in the Twin Cities area, please stop by and enjoy my art, along with a fantastic organic meal. (I enjoyed Tortilla Lucia today--a flour tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, black beans, and monterrey jack cheese, plus salsa--yummy!).

Looks great! Hanging artwork can be so hard sometimes! Looks like you guys came up with a great combination! Wish I lived closer or I would check it out!
Looks great--I think that artwork really shines in this type of setting--Love your colors!!
Everything looks wonderful, I especially like the flower painting. So pretty! Congrats to you on being able to keep your work up another month!
Dear Risa-congrats! This is so exciting to see your work up on the walls. I did this too few years back and one of the things that really exposed me to more people was that on the weekends I would take an easel down to the coffee shop and sit outside and paint. Inevitably you will have people stand around you, watch you and ask questions etc. Of course I didn't have baby then:)...so I could do that.
Yes...i ordered my totes from Visa and I am SO happy with them-you will be too. The colors are rich and vibrant and clear. It came to about 12$ a bag (plus upload fee)...I ordered a whole bunch of other stuff too...biz cards, magnets etc. It took awhile to receive...or at least it seemed like it...from the time I ordered it but well worth it. I want to get square magnets but have not been able to find them. I wanted to sell my totes for less but they cost about 12$ to make...how much are you charging for yours if you don't mind me asking? Great stuff going on over here Risa XXX
