2011 Indiana State Fair and painting on the canal

I entered this painting (painted last year) into the 2011 Indiana State Fair. It's very similar to the painting I entered last year and received a 4th place in the non professional division. The difference is that this year I entered the professional division and was VERY pleased to have had it chosen for exhibition. I went out to the fair early yesterday morning to find out if it had been accepted. I walked all over the exhibition and didn't see it. Just as I was leaving, I picked up the brochure  that listed those chosen and saw my name. Looked up, and there it was!!! This is another interior impression of the TC Steele home in Nashville, Indiana.

Haven't been painting much as it seems I'm on the go. However, meeting Victoria on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at the Broad Ripple canal for a little plein aire exercise. We always have a good time painting together.

10/3/2011 Victoria and I did paint on the canal that day. It was hot but we still had fun! Photo was taken by a news reporter from the Indianapolis Star who was kayaking the canal and photographing the things he saw and experienced a long the way
