I adore a good summer fair. Cotton Candy, livestock, carnival rides, good friends and exhibits. This year I took a risk and entered quite a few paintings in the Marin County Fair. This fair is juried and highly competitive. My work was turned away more than once, post College, when I really thought I had something special to offer. I have a lot more years and humility under my belt, so when I entered last year with one piece, I was awestruck to have it accepted.

This year I decided to go bolder. To my delight, I had all four of my Fine Art entries were accepted.

If you have the good fortune to visit the Marin County Fair this week, I hope you'll keep an eye out for my paintings/babies.
Happy Fair Season and thanks for stopping by! |
