Geese At The Fair

I've made it past phase one of the judging for the MN State Fair Fine Arts competition with my piece "Geese At The Fair!"

Oil pastel, 24" x 12".

Phase two judging takes place the last weekend of July.

Update!  "Geese At The Fair" will be on display at the fair!  You can see it at the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Building (corner of Randall and Cosgrove) August 23rd through Labor Day.

Update II, Electric Boogaloo!   "Geese At The Fair" has been sold!  Okay, so it didn't win any awards, but I'm still thrilled my work has found a good home.  

And I'll get around to a truly new post one of these days, I promise...
