Ocean City, MD
Around here, folks all agree that Ocean City, MD, is the place to be in the summertime. Earlier, the spring breakers flock there, but in the summer, families and couples are more the norm. They come for the weekend, for the week, and for longer periods if they can arrange it.
The Ocean City Art League issued a call to artists. Each artist was allowed to submit 2 large paintings to be hung in the Convention Center and 2 smaller paintings for the Chamber of Commerce, and all were to stay there for the remainder of the summer! There were no entrance fees and only a 25% commission on a sale!
Of course, I was eager to send some oil paintings. So today Betty and I took hers, mine, and Suzanne’s paintings to the Art League to be hung later in those larger venues. I can hardly imagine any greater exposure at such an inexpensive rate!
