The show was a great commercial success for me, and I estimate that more than half of the nearly 1300 brides-to-be walked away with my literature or business card.

I painted two paintings of the show, one each day, to demonstrate that I can actually talk and paint at the same time. Saturday's painting was purchased on the spot by a fellow exhibitor, with requests from other vendors to buy the same painting. Sunday's painting was bought by Brad Buckles of Bridesclub.com, the organizer of the event. He appears in the lower right hand corner of the painting, shown here.

Its a shame I couldn't include his dapper two-tone shoes.
