Submissions to the San Diego County Fair

… known to us longtime California residents as the Del Mar Fair. This will be the first competition in which I’ve entered, and it seems like a good one to start with. The first is one I’ve only just completed a few days ago, and uses a very traditional palette in keeping with my current philosophy. It awaits only a signature, a coat of varnish and a frame. At Ivy Ranch, oil on canvas, 24 X 36.

The other is a smaller oil painting that I completed last year: a rancher worried about the land and what’s happening to it. Worry, oil on canvas, 12 X 12:

The fair will be this summer. Wish me luck!

About llawrence

I'm a portrait artist in the process of launching my career. I specialize in rustic and Southwestern portraits. I'm also a handcrafter of artist's pigments and colors, and I'm fascinated with anything to do with this subject. The colors I make are natural and traditional ones, made from earths, minerals and organic sources, in combination with other common materials.
