Bastille Days

I did some Plein Air painting at Bastille Days for Art Milwaukee on Saturday and had a farmers tan inducing good time. I ended up there pretty much all day and came out with a pretty awesome piece, a sunburned face, and about fifty less business cards than when I went in. The piece ended up a pretty decent depiction of the scene with a bit of artistic freedom, and an engaging and energetic view of the city, expressing the excitement and fun of the festival despite the humidity and heat. So anyways, here is "The Festival" in all it's glory. It took about four hours of painting and a good amount of conversations to get to the end, but it was great to see all the interest, very uplifting to hear all the comments and words of encouragement, and in general, an overall fun time. Great job Art Milwaukee and hopefully I can do some more work for you guys.
