Hello!
I hope that you have been able to enjoy lovely blue skies and sunshine like we had today at Salamanca Market. It felt a little strange very early this morning when as I started driving across the Tasman Bridge all the lights on the bridge suddenly switched off.
My first customer was a mother and daughter visiting from Adelaide, SA. The daughter bought a Silent Disco print for her boyfriend, who loves penguins.

A family from New Zealand, who saw my artwork in Richmond at Peppercorn Gallery, purchased a Hayride and Bathing Beauties prints.
A print of my original painting, titled, Hayride
A Glamour Girls tote bag was purchased for a couple’s sister-in-law. They are visiting from Eugene, USA. https://pjpaintings.com/.../products/tote-bag-glamour-girls
A Morning Melody print is travelling home to Adelaide.
The original painting I painted of a cute wombat in a yellow dress with a birthday cake and one candle was purchased for baby Evelyn with a pink bow in her hair. She gave me a gorgeous smile, too! This is the link if you would like to see the original painting.
Two other original paintings were purchased today. One was of an urban sketch of a historic house on George Street, Port Moody, B.C., Canada was purchased. The bright spring green maple tree caught my eye. I love the colour of the new leaves on a maple tree. I sat on the other side of the street to draw it. The couple has moved to Hobart from Newcastle, NSW three months ago. He also bought a Lazy Days print.
This is the house I drew.
The other original painting was purchased by a couple that visit Melbourne often. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the emus boarding a bus in downtown Melbourne.
Linda, an enthusiastic PJ Paintings Facebook follower, visited my stall with friends. It was a lively and happy group and so wonderful to meet a long-time follower and supporter. They bought a Hanging Out tote bag, wombat prints and a Salamanca Saturdays print.
I met delightful people from around the world today, France, Netherlands, Argentina and more. But as the saying goes … all good things come to an end, and indeed Salamanca Market did just that.
Wishing you a great upcoming week.
Cheers from, Patricia (PJ) Hopwood-Wade
Surprise of the day was – how popular Silent Disco is.
