Hello,
My day setting up at Salamanca Market commenced with my next-door neighbour stallholder off-key singing “here we go again” and “I don’t know the next line” with a variety of background birds singing their morning birdsongs.
My first customer was a local with her sister, visiting from north of Newcastle, NSW. They purchased a Piggyback, Maggie and Maggie & Maggie print. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/wombats/products/piggyback
Next came another sister visiting her sister, who lives here and works at Tiger ina Papera Unique Woodcraft Salamanca Gallery https://www.facebook.com/TigerInaPaperaUniqueWoodcraftsalamancagallery/ in Salamanca Place where my original paintings are selling. They bought Scarlet Robins, Maggie & Maggie and Blossoming Friendship. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/birds
A mother and daughter visited the stall and bought Glamour Girls for her sister who is a hairdresser in Romania! The daughter is visiting her aunt soon and will give this print as a gift to her. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/emus/products/glamour-girls-1
A visitor returning home on Friday, will be taking Afternoon Siesta over the ocean to the UK. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/wombats
Another visitor from the UK purchased Christmas Siesta for her great niece also living in the UK. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/christmas
A couple visiting from Poland bought an Enchanted Forest III, The Three Amigos III and a House Sharing print. They returned later in the day to have a photo taken with the artist.
A tourist from New York, USA, eventually settled on buying a Glamour Girls, Wombat Adventurer and Salamanca Fresh print.
A friend, of a friend, of a friend was tasked to hunt down a Lost Worlds print. Her colleague loved her friend’s print and wanted one for herself. When she found out she was coming to Tasmania for a holiday, she asked her to look for another one. It will be hung in her house in Redcliffe, Queensland. Armed with this photo, she hunted my stall down. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/unfurling/products/lost-worlds
A Southern Flow print was purchased for her nephew in the UK that is mad about whales.
A young gentleman from Colombia, South America, who is an engineer currently living in Melbourne and planning to return to Colombia in two years, purchased a Double Date V print.

A couple visiting from Norway, both Australians that worked in Norway and decided to stay and live there, purchased a Weightless and Southern Flow print. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/whales
Then the end of the day arrived and we packed up in the heat of the day, accompanied by off-key singing of “here we go again”.
Cheers from, Patricia (PJ) Hopwood-Wade
