Kerchman County Fair<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

“The Carnival”<\/p>\r\n

While exhibiting at an Art Show near Orlando, Florida over fifteen years ago, I was approached by a lady, who was impressed by my paintings and asked if I would be interested in painting a picture for her. \u00a0That doesn’t sound so, “out of the ordinary”, but then she gave me the details.<\/p>\r\n

She worked for a company, that has a picnic every year about the same time and needed a painting that represented the event, for their poster. \u00a0Here’s the deal…..Every year, artists submit a picture for competition and the one that is chosen will receive a cash award. \u00a0They would keep the painting and print 1000 limited edition prints, from the painting and the artist could keep the overruns.<\/p>\r\n

The same artist had won 3 years in a row. I was shown the paintings that had won previously, some watercolor, others were\u00a0a pastel, pen and ink and colored pencil and they were all very good. I was given a deadline to present the picture, so they could compare it against the other entries. \u00a0The winning artist would then make corrections, as needed and return the winning piece. She gave me some photographs of the event from previous years to use as a\u00a0reference.<\/p>\r\n

After presenting the painting, it was chosen as was, with no changes. \u00a0I heard later that there was another artist, who was upset because he didn’t win. \u00a0He was counting on the prize money.<\/p>\r\n
