One of my regular vacation activities is demonstrating art at the Canfield Fair. (Mahoning County, Ohio, for those in less blest parts of the world.) This year will be no different: artists from the Trumbull Area Artists will fill the gazebo behind the Palace of Fine Arts every day from 1100 Am—2:00 PM. We paint in pastels and watercolors and oils and acrylic. Colored pencils, wood block prints, weaving, hand-spinning will appear also. And I will have multiple opportunities to sample the wonderful foods the fair offers, and take many photos from which to paint my pastels. I also regularly exhibit in the Fair’s Art Show—wish me luck! The photo below is last year's Plein Air painting competition. Mine is the giant pumpkin lower right. (Pink ribbon, Homorable mention
