Well… YESTERDAY was a WILD one at the Ocean City Boardwalk Art Show. 😅🌊🎨
Outdoor art shows are always a bit of a gamble when you’re bringing valuable original artwork along for the ride. At this point, I’ve basically added part-time meteorologist to my résumé. 😂
Friday’s challenge was 94% humidity — definitely NOT an artist’s best friend — but we had a game plan, kept everything protected until the humidity burned off, and ended up having a fantastic first day with great crowds and a sale to one of my collectors. ❤️
Then came Saturday…
The day started PERFECT. Blue skies, sunshine, great crowds — until around 3:00 when my artist neighbor casually asked, “Did you see the storm warning?”
Ummm… WHAT storm warning?! 😳
Cue PANIC MODE.
Within about 15 minutes, we went from gorgeous sunshine to severe storm warnings and possible 60 mph wind gusts. Jonathan was back at the hotel taking a very well-deserved break, so I called him with basically: GET BACK HERE. NOW. 😂
He raced back, we got my newest and most valuable paintings safely into the car, pulled EVERYTHING inside, helped my neighboring artist get her work into my tent, battened down the hatches and got ourselves out just before it hit.
Wind whipping. Rain POURING. Things flying down the boardwalk. Absolute chaos. 🌪️😳
And somehow… NO DAMAGE. 🙌 Not one painting hurt. Thank God.
We did lose about three hours of valuable show time, but considering what could have happened, I’ll happily take that!
SO — I’m here EARLY this morning, all set up and ready to make up for some lost time! ☀️🎨 Mother Nature and I have had enough quality time together this weekend. 😂
If you’ve been wanting to see Sunlit Symphony, my new sunflower piece, Where Day Begins, the large oceanscape, the yacht club piece, or any of my other work — come see me TODAY!
📍 Booth 11 — Ocean City Boardwalk
Between Plymouth Place & 7th Street
🕙 Official show hours today: 10–4
🎨 But I’m already here and ready for you!
Come say hi, see the artwork, and hopefully enjoy a MUCH less dramatic day on the boardwalk. 😂🙏☀️
