Re:
Charlie has painted on straw mats, the kind used as place-mats under dishes. Larger ones, too.
Billy-o?

I probably would have loved it years ago . Once during the war we bought a bundle of plain straw mats . The just did not sell ,so we painted them in different designs I remember one said OXO in bright red. I also remember the woman buying it. The rest sold like Billy-o A few weeks later I saw one draped over an old bicycle in the rain.

Based on events around here where artists display their work and sell some of it, I'm guessing the real profit in the weekend was the interaction with people, the sense of appreciation and possibly amazement at the creative work you and Charlie did. That folks showed up in spite of the weather is a good sign, I believe.
