For 9 of the 10 days during 2011 York Fair in September, I painted a variety of works & answered questions. My first effort was a 4x5 oval purple iris which I put into a gold frame as soon as it dried. A few days later, a couple came by and bought it! Next painting was a sculpture in Hershey Rose Garden. Being a complex piece, it took more than 5 days to finish. Lastly I worked
on the scene from rural Virginia. I managed to do two layers & begin details but fair time was over & I had to complete it in my studio. I saw a bit more of this year's fair: the Big Cat Encounter, Pig Races, Hanneford Circus. It was such a rewarding experience I'm already looking forward to the 2012 fair.
