SELECTED FOR EXHIBITION AT THE 25th CPSA INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, ROCKVILLE MARYLAND, SUMMER 2017.

I gathered the reference photographs of this scene at the Lilac Festival, Fraser Park, California in the late 1980's. The pictures have been in my  "To Do" pile for many years waiting for the right shape and the right medium to come along. I think the square format and the colored pencil on canvas were finally accomplished enough to use. The support is an Aaron Brothers stretched canvas. I used two coats of Krylon Archival Series UV Protective Gloss Acrylic Spray coating as a finish over two sprays of Krylon workable fixative, 

Done with lightfast colored pencils of various brands (see palette below).
