I went down to the Del Mar Fair to enter their plein air painting event today. The check-in was 11am and finished works had to be back by 4pm at the latest. the idea was to work fast and express a view and the spirit of the fair. I chose the fun zone, always my favorite part. Starting with the pre-requisite blank canvas, this mess is what I ended up with before it was time to stop. The light was overcast with sun a l m o s t breaking through but never quite... It wasn't very dramatic but at least it was consistant. oil on canvas, 36 by 24
