Buxton Book Fair, Pavillion windows.
We drove across England to take part in the Buxton Book fair held in the Pavillion Gardens in Buxton. We got up at 2:30 am and we left around 5am…oh wow was I tired today! I did this little watercolor sketch while sitting at my table, between talking to people. You can see I was most interested in the gorgeous tall windows and the view of the fall trees outside.

Here’s one part of my set up selling Limited Edition prints, open edition prints and note cards. I had a lot of fun chatting with the local people who came by my table and bought my cards.

Stage in the Pavillion at Buxton book fair.
Here’s a photo of the stage as you look across the room, it was a gorgeous old Victorian building with hardwood floors. a cafe and a shop filled with local artists works.
In the sea of books.
I never saw as many books!!, well not since I worked as a librarian in college at the Buffalo State College library. I wish I had more time to shop, I loved seeing the old book cover designs. Next time I’ll try to take pictures of some.
Here’s a link to the Pavillion Gardens at Buxton.
Thanks for posting these photos, Mary. What a beautiful place! I bet people loved your work, and I bet there weren’t many artists from the US there!
Are you planning on staying there through the end of the year? What a wonderful adventure.
Your photos of the coastline are fantastic. Truely wonderful. Begging to be painted.
Have a wonderful time, have some English tea, and if you see Paul McCartney, tell him I love him! LOL

Thanks Kathie, it was great talking to people about what I love to do, some enjoyed a look at my ‘real’ field sketchbook as I always love sharing my pages. I’ll be ending my stay all too soon, in just three weeks! I’m so sad about it, but coming back in Spring to paint the bluebells.
