| Another benefit from the wholesale trade show has been the contacts made with other vendors and business people. I had a request for a design featuring the Alamo, complete with canon, and the Texas flag of the time. I found these images that I will use for references, and I will start drawing some sketches for this client soon. You know that this is a project dear to my heart... as a Texan...and as a native of San Antonio!! Remember the Alamo! sheltongail@hotmail.com |

| Getting things together for market...this is a banner that will advertise me! as an artist who can make appearances in their stores. I am adding this aspect this time to my marketing efforts. I hope to be able to schedule some appearances in other stores, demonstrating watercolor painting, bringing samples of my work, etc. |

And this is the new "Texas" bag...the design features the Alamo, the Texas flag,and cowboy boot, a bluebonnet, and an armadillo. Having grown up in Texas, I am more than familiar with all these things! As children, our parents always took us at Easter time to have pictures made sitting in the bluebonnet fields. I chased lots of armadillos with my brother in the hill country around San Antonio. I owned several pair of cowboy boots...in fact, I was on the dance line in high school, and we dressed like the Kilgore Rangerettes, in red, white, and blue with white cowboy boots! AND, my first job after high school involved working downtown at the Alamo! I guess I am still "Texas" at heart...but my Louisiana roots are strong now too. I guess I can love them both! sheltongail@hotmail.com |
