It’s been a busy spring getting ready for the 2023 Boerne Art Waddle!

What a fun event it was!

Right off the bat, I had two sales from a woman who has been collecting art since she was 20. Diane Reynolds, of Cordillera purchased the original oil painting of the old house near Castell, TX and “Lunch Buddies”.  She said she selected these two because they were similar in color and would look good together. They are also framed the same. I’m so glad they are staying together!

 

And then, as the day was coming to the end, Reagan, who owns The Pearl Antler woman’s clothing store stopped by. She was excited to see the painting, “A Patriotic Afternoon” that featured her old truck and store location on River Road. She now has moved her store to Main Street, so this was an emotional painting for her. I’m so glad she is the new owner of this painting!
