The theme was "Food for Thought" - open to artist's interpretation...
So my approach was to depict the "edible bounty" of the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes, specifically what is most common in Perry (according to a friend who lives there) - apple orchards, fields of wheat, dairy and sunflowers
(style inspired by two of my favorite artists: Mary Blair & Sabra Field)
my knees still hurt from kneeling on that carpet scrap
my finished square - I wanted to finesse the colors a bit more, but time was running out and it was soooooo hot I couldn't see as well by this point either, getting seriously dehydrated:
some of my favorites by other artists:
- very pretty & graceful(clever!) Eating = mind curiosity² - 
- like a Tibetan sand mandalagorgeous bright colors - 
it was a fun event, with a specially designated area just for chalking
one of the best parts was being able to listen to the live music happening under the tent the entire time
lotsa variety in artist's interpretations of the theme
