The end of the fair


I was unhappy with this drawing until I noticed how well it captures the way it feels after you've been at the fair a little too long and think you can handle just one more treat. A caramel apple wouldn't have been a problem if you hadn't also had a corn dog, fried dough, are overheated, and have been looking at too much airbrushed art. You feel like you just got off the Tilt-a-whirl, even though you haven't been on that ride in twenty years.

I love looking at all the art displays at the fair. While some of the work isn't my style and some may, perhaps, be "not good", I'm just in awe that so many people out there are making the effort to paint and draw. I mean, it's just so much easier not to.
