A Day at the Fair...painting

Last Saturday I took part in the Marin Fair Plein Air Painting Competition.

I found a good spot under some pine trees to set up my easel.

Some stilt-walkers came by,

and the band came by too...

 

...while I concentrated on my painting...

 

...until it was completed.

At the end of the day, I won a merit award and got to meet some new artists who are very talented.
