Strawberry Festival Art Show

 

The annual Strawberry Festival starts in 2 weeks. 

 Plant City, Florida is known for it's strawberry farms.  People come from all over to be at the festival.. Of course more than strawberries are there. It's from Feb. 27 - Mar. 9. 

Our art guild puts on an art show, which I've participated for the past 2 years and again this year.

 This year I was asked to donate a painting for the raffle which benefits a scholarship that we support.. So above is my donation. I hope it goes to a good home.. I painted it a couple years ago.. it's matted and in a 16x20" frame.

As for an entry into the judged show I'll be putting in 'Prima' the  ballerina girl. While I'm at it I'm posting another finished piece that I did recently .. (below)

A young Jamaican girl.. I believe I found the photo on Wet Canvas, one of the copyright free sites for artists.. I have another site that I use and can never remember which one .   BJ

 

Strawberry Art Fest Time

'Little Sunrise Dancer'

'Sunset on My Shoulder'

These are my 2 entries for the show which starts the 28th of Feb. and run to March 10.

Both are 18x24" framed ...

 Both  were entered in the Proffessional category which is a little scarey. But I'll live through it.

I'll be hosting a day at the Art Show while it's open .

 Art is displayed in a seperate building.. Thank goodness we're not near the cows and critters. Yes, I'm kidding you.

The Plant City Strawberry Festival is well known throughout the country. Everything is strawberry.

There's entertainment mostly by country/western folks. This year Alan Jackson will be entertaining on one of the nights. 

Hmmm! hope I'm there THAT day.  LOL !  BJ
