The Thrill of American Carnival:
THE GREAT NEW YORK STATE FAIR
September 1st, 2011
"Fair fun marks the summer's end..." (my 6 word memoir and an answer to PAPER TRADER'S challenge...) |
There was something for everyone... heaps of junk food,
interesting, interactive exhibits,
wild life,
We were particularly taken by the owl... |
If you like controlled noise and craziness, crowds, hawkers pushing their wares, an air of excitement and happiness, the New York State Fair is the place to be. It's a show as old as humankind...and a must see, annual event that denotes the end of summer here in central New York!
The challenge blogs were busy as well this week as they continued throwing out challenges to their loyal readers/players/artists...
CREAVIL CHALLENGES wanted to see art about Cowboys and Indians...here's one of each, CREAVIL...
SUNDAY POSTCARD ART's request was to see a representative from the ANIMAL KINGDOM...
THREE MUSES wanted to see what we'd do with newspaper somewhere in our art... |
THINK MONDAY-THINK ATC challenged us to take a peek ...through a keyhole... |
CRAZY AMIGO's challenge was to create a BACK TO SCHOOL themed art piece... |
TAKE A WORD put forth their challenge in a "TIMEly" manner...
WHEW! Thanks for stopping by...one of these days I'll master the art of the SHORT blog posting...hope you'll stay with me 'til then! I guess I'm using all my unspent energy creating art! Next week I see the doctor and hopefully, he'll give me the OK to return to my normal, active life as my back will be healed! We'll see...
For those of you concerned with the camera sound as you look at this blog, it's from a slideshow that some can see...some can't. I'm told it depends on which server you use to open the blog. I'm NOT taking photos of you!!!
xox 'til soon,
abbyj
