Paint Historic Waxahachie – day 7

Today was overcast and much cooler! Another artist and I painted hay bales this afternoon.  This is a farm located within the city limits on the edge of a historical residential district on West Jefferson street.  I’m not sure how many acres, but it has to be at least a hundred. HAY!!! The majestic oak & pecan trees in the midst of  mowed grass  & baled hay was irresistible…I had to paint it.

“HAY!!!”

11 x 14 Watercolor

 

Tomorrow paintings will go on display for our judge, Ms. Kaye Franklin. She will have work to do, there are some mighty fine paintings waiting for her. It won’t be easy….selecting Best in Show, 1st, 2nd, 3rd place cash awards and 10 honorable mention merchandise awards.   We don’t have a total count on paintings yet – deadline is 2pm tomorrow afternoon, but as of today, more than 100 have been submitted.  Winners will be announced at a BBQ buffet supper & preview for artists, event volunteers, sponsors & patrons. I’ll post the winners tomorrow night.
