A DREAM ACHIEVED!
"Seth and The Girls" has been accepted in to the
Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition.
If I had gotten to go to the Grand Marais Art Fair I would not have made the time to create this 24" x 30" pastel painting.
If cousin Monica had not invited us to stay at their farm during Duluth's Park Point Art Fair the photograph would not have been taken.
Had Monnie not become interested in raising sheep there would have been no sheep grazing on that "perfect" early Sunday morning.
HAD THE SUN NOT BEEN SHINING, THE BACKLIGHTING WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
Had the small herd not composed themselves to well I would have played around with moving sheep (often not an easy task!).
Had the idea of doing this piece mainly in crosshatching not come to brain the painting would have looked very differently. I love crosshatching...
Had dear "flow" not happened I would have given up.
"Flow" happened. Time flew. Sheep and pasture and backyard evolved. Scritch by scritch by scritch.
Sheep happen.
And sometimes odd quick dreams come true!
********************
This weekend, Aug. 5 - 6, we will be at Minneapolis' Powderhorn Park Art Festival - Booth 89. Cards and reproductions of "Seth and The Girls" will be available. Yes, Monica, magnets are coming soon - ha!
Now, even though there is much to be done here - I am off to the Washington County Fair, just outside Lake Elmo,MN. I am trying to find more Joy in life. Sometimes that means taking time off from work one enjoys to go watch pigs, sheep, and chicken, and people do what they do at a fair.
Fare-thee-well,
Sue
