I love going to the State Fair. Its such a production, with something for everyone. The rides, the food(!), art shows, crafts, traditional skills like baking and quilting, all kinds of music, Hispanic arts, African American arts, Native American dancing, the barns filled with 4-H projects, horses... Maybe what I like best is seeing all the families, parents sharing with wide-eyed kids, the teens being oh-so-cool but still having a great time. Its a day where everyone seems to shed the worries and cares, basking in the sunshine. My favorite Fair food has always been a corndog - last year I discovered a green chile corndog (I'm in New Mexico, after all) and it was the best ever. Can't wait till this year's Fair, but while we wait, what are Your favorite things about the Fair?
I'm not sure why, but this image looks so much better on my website than here at the blog - the link is on the upper right of this page, or click Here.

Welcome back Terry! I really like the whimsy of this painting. And I would love to take in the State Fair too.
Thanks Paula! Do they have Fairs in Canada? Rodeos, at least in Calgary, I know, but maybe for a Fair you need to come south of the border...
Hey Terry!! You're back!! Glad to see you again and I love your new website too! This is a great painting -- colorful, whimsical -- just my cup of tea!!
Thanks Chris - yes, I think your color palette has been sneaking over to my studio and jazzing things up!
I'd love to go to one. Never been. Sounds like lots of fun.

Fairs are really fun, Paz - and being in New York it seems like there should be great ones not too far away...
Well, we have street fairs but I suppose it not the same, huh? ;-)

Whimsical and fun in subject matter and in execution. Well done!
