Title: 3 pears: 3

Over the years I've wondered if the arts community sees county fairs as a viable exhibit venue. After doing research for an artistic resumé's content and layout style, I started to see that many nationally recognized artists got their start and began their awards list with those received at fairs.
Since last summer I'd only received a couple of 'Honorable Mention' awards. Not what I'd consider sufficent to be called an 'award winning' artist. Now that has changed! This painting received first place in the semi-professional section for water media. The check that came with this placement was more of a gesture of good will than of substance - shall we say it paid for the gas running back and forth to the fair grounds.
