Salamanca Market, April 22, 2023

It was the usual start early this morning: lifting crates, heaving the gazebo open, bustling around, chatting and the like to set up for the day.

My first customer purchased “The Three Amigos II”. She’s visiting from Victoria. I think this was her first time in Hobart. They usually stay in the north of the state because they own land in St Mary’s, a small town on the east coast of Tasmania https://www.eastcoasttasmania.com/discover/town/st-marys/ . They came to Tasmania on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry.

A mother bought “Family Outing” for her daughter living in Toronto, Canada. Her son-in-law and daughter travel a lot with a stuffed emu accompanying them everywhere and it especially likes to photobomb their travel photos.

A very excited visitor from One Tree Hill, South Australia, purchased “Storytime”. She’s starting a new job in a newly built, beautiful school library.

Her name is Maggie, short for Margaret. Sometimes in jest, he tells her how much he loves his Maggie….long pause… football team.

A Glamour Girls print is going to live in New York, USA  https://pjpaintings.com/collections/emus/products/glamour-girls-1 and a boy with a broken hand chose “The Bun” print to take home with him.

It was milder than the inky darkness suggested when I tip-toed out of the house at 5:30 am.

A Canadian, from New Brunswick, purchased a “Maggie” print. She worked in Japan for three years, where she met and became friends with a lady, who a few years later, invited her to her wedding in Melbourne.  It was just the push, or excuse, she needed to come and explore some of Australia. Friends told her that she had so see Tasmania, because it is just a hop and skip from Melbourne, and so worth doing. So, she followed up on the advice and is loving Tasmania.

Salamanca Market, April 1, 2023

I went out the door at around 5:15 am and was greeted by a pademelon sitting of the driveway. We said our hellos, then it hopped across the front lawn and then across the street to the flora reserve.

My first customer, visiting from Newcastle, NSW, bought “Blossoming Friendship” https://pjpaintings.com/collections/birds/products/blossoming-friendship-a-magpie-watercolour-print for her sister, who loves magpies. She lives in the sweet town of Penguin, on the northwest coast of Tasmania where the rubbish bins on the main street are uniquely penguins. The residents of the coastal town of Penguin have applied to the Tasmanian Heritage Council to have 12 penguin-themed rubbish bins, as well as the town’s Big Penguin sculpture, included in the Tasmanian Heritage Register. If successful, it will apparently be Australia’s first heritage-listed rubbish bins. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-02/penguin-tasmania-big-penguin-rubbish-bin-heritage-list-history/102002632#:~:text=Residents%20of%20the%20coastal%20town,in%20the%20Tasmanian%20Heritage%20Register

“Blossoming Friendship” The original is for sale at Tiger ina Papera Unique Woodcraft Salamanca Gallery

The next person I served, at a guess was well into her 70’s and had just returned from doing the Three Capes Walk, which I have done myself and know that it is not an easy three days of carrying a backpack around, although stunning scenery and well worth the effort. She purchased “A Spot of Happiness” and “Friendship Refreshes the Soul” prints. https://auswalk.com.au/three-capes/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwiZqhBhCJARIsACHHEH-HoT6_nYHPCYCcJeNxd0QGKUjjTdRD1ndO1UduIYg2xSR5_XIgi0kaAp40EALw_wcB

A couple from Rock Hampton purchased “Hot Couple”, “Duck Crossing” and “Sitting on the Fence”. Another couple, that saw “Hot Couple” at Peppercorn Gallery in Richmond, but didn’t buy it, couldn’t get it out of their heads so they had decided that they were going to have to go back to Richmond to buy it, were so happy to come across me at the market. It saved them a return trip to Richmond. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/emus/products/copy-of-afternoon-tea-emu-watercolour-prints

Grandparents, visiting from Adelaide, who have six grandchildren under the age of 2.5 years, a twin girl and boy in the mix, purchased a “Hayride” and “Bunk Bed Trio” print for the grandchildren’s bedroom. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/wombats/products/wombat-watercolour

A family visiting from Japan purchased seven prints. The mother is originally from Tasmania and has been living in Japan for 42 years. Her husband hasn’t visited Tasmania for 40 years and their daughter for 13 years, but she visited Tassie 5 years ago. They were very happy with their wombat series of prints.

A couple, who have moved to Tasmania for a year from Adelaide, purchased a “Glamour Girls” and “Family Outing” prints. He has secured a job for a year in the medical field. I met another person doing medical work in Tasmania, today, but only for six weeks. She’s an Emergency Department doctor and being housed in Elizabeth Street, in the city centre of Hobart. She purchased an “Afternoon Siesta” print for her sister-in-law, who loves wombats, and a “Silent Disco” for herself. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/birds/products/dancing-penguins

Silent Disco

“Lazy Days” and “Salamanca Saturdays” prints are travelling to Ireland, “Bunk Beds” and “Lazy Days” are going to Wales, and “Bunk Beds” and “Hanging Out” are returning to Italy. Actually, the Italians came back to my stall at the end of the day, while I was packing up, and bought more prints. A lot of tote bags and cushion covers sold today too. https://pjpaintings.com/collections/wombats/products/copy-of-sleepy-head-series-bunk-beds-wombat-watercolour

Salamanca Market, March 18, 2023

More perfect weather for Salamanca Market was delivered today.

My first customer purchased a “Maggie” tote bag. She hand raised a baby magpie. She saw the bag and instantly decided to buy it. I debuted the “Maggie” tote bag today and sold out in the first hour of the market. Everyone that bought one had a story about feeding their magpie/s. They visit at a regular time and tap on the window or somehow alert their humans to the feeding time.

I also debuted “Hot Couple II” and “Tickle my Toes” prints today. A couple, the husband originally from Venezuela, purchased “Hot Couple”. He loved it. Another couple, visiting from Japan, purchased “Tickle my Toes”.

A visitor from Denmark bought a “Double Date V” print. A woman from California, USA purchased three prints: “Devilish Siesta”, “Friendship Refreshes the Soul” and “Spiky Bunk Beds”. I asked her what brought her to Tasmania, and she replied that she came here to do the Overland Track. Apparently, you can do it in five days, but she’s added two days so that it isn’t as gruelling. You have to carry all your gear.

I met a Finnish visitor. She’s staying in Australia for a year. She bought two cards, “Visiting Friends” and “Bunk Beds”, one to send to her mother, the other to her grandmother.

I ended the day with a couple visiting from China. They purchased a “Bunk Beds” and “Goldilocks and the 20 Penguins” print. They asked if they could see the other limited edition prints I had because they didn’t like 46 out of 500 too much. They were much happier with 30 out of 500.

My next customer from Sydney amazed me. She went to Maria Island and managed to not see one wombat!! She went to the fossil cliffs, campgrounds and penitentiary accommodation area and didn’t see any wombats. When I went there, I stopped counting after about 50 sightings. I saw big wombats, baby wombats, and I had one keep me company when I was sketching for about an hour. Unlike the above’s experience of disappointment, I had a couple from Perth, with her ultimate dream was to see a wombat, and she was over the moon about having seen not one, but six wombats at her visit to Cradle Mountain. They bought a “Hanging Out” print as a souvenir. https://happiestoutdoors.ca/maria-island-tasmania/

Off with the Birds

Birds give me such joy. I currently have three birdbaths in my garden and plan on adding more.

Birds can spot a safe mode of travel, as evidenced by this painting, where they spotted a fashion-conscious, large bird, wearing a bird-friendly patterned dress and shoes, and immediately knew that this was just the right kind of vehicle to embark on!

Off with the Birds

This original painting is painted on Khadi Mill paper, made from recycled cotton rags, painted by Patricia Hopwood-Wade. It has my full name and signature on the back of the painting. The painting is approximately 20 x 20 cm.  It is available at https://pjpaintings.com/collections/original-paintings/products/off-with-the-birds 

I hope that you are able to enjoy birds wherever you are.

Salamanca Market, February 4, 2023

Good soaking rain, the kind that gardens love, not Salamanca market stallholders, greeted us this morning. Because my stall is on a slope, I had to build bridges with the lids of my crates, with an edge on the curb and the other side on the pavement, to put my bags of tote bags and the like on, so that the stream of water ran underneath the lids. The kookaburras seemed to be enjoying the steady rain. Thankfully, we did get some breaks from the rain, but it kept reappearing.

My first customer appeared wearing shorts. I didn’t notice because I can’t see people’s legs very easily from over the prints, but he was bemoaning wearing shorts. He just arrived from Brisbane where it is hot and humid, so he had a good excuse. He bought a “Hammock Life” cushion cover.

A family visiting from Munich, Germany, purchased “Silent Disco”. They liked the fairy penguins that come to Tasmania’s shores.

Another original sold today. I titled it, “Mesmerising”. The couple that bought it had bought a “Richmond Bridge, Tasmania” print several years ago. She described that they had it framed in an antique frame, how good it looks, the joy it brings and how much they love it. Stories like that are always so nice to hear.
