I went early Saturday (in the morning darkness) to Columbus for the group show at Euroclassics, a fine shop that sells only original Craftsman and Mission style furniture. The prices would astound you, but they don't deal in knock-offs, just genuine old antiques that are still very functional. The shop is large, with two street-facing rooms on North High Street, the main north-south thoroughfare.

Our exhibition was in one of the large showrooms along the walls and on antique counters and cabinets. It was exquisitely laid out.

I set my eight paintings along a wall, attached my price cards to the wall, and went to lunch with my friend and patron, Franco.

The show opened at noon and ran until8PM.

Even before the show opened I sold a painting to another artist. $400.

During the show I had several people interested in the larger paintings. After I left to make the almost two-hour return drive in the evening dark, another sold for $450. I got word that another one will probably be purchased this week and that a person is considering a fourth painting!

It was a good result.

I sold these two.
