Fair pictures

Well Aunt Litbit, I said I would get those pictures of the other drawings up. I haven't. I am sitting here on this Wednesday evening waiting for YW to start. I haven't downloaded the pictures to the dropbox yet. I don't have them on my laptop.
But everybody in our family got a ribbon, and everybody did great. Beckah had a cool technique of making watercolor flowers by making drips of paint run across her paper. It was very cool, and my YW president said she liked that one best. She thought it should have gotten higher than it did. I do to.
Sabrina painted a very tightly realistic and acrylic  peach, perfect circle, perfect shape, perfect color. It is Sabrina's painting style. :)
Joseph painted a acrylic bunch of grapes, but was disappointed that they placed higher than his dragon drawing. I thought the dragon was pretty cool, but I would have done it with a little more color. But because his grapes are a current work of his, it is a better piece than his dragon. I told him he needed to do something new, not use the same drawing from last year. Which, is okay, as long as it had been done in the last two years.
Benj entered a crayon drawing on black paper. It looked pretty cool. It was a picture of Benj in the back yard in the sun. Jessa did a similar picture. The sun was the prettiest part, with many colors of yellow. With that picture Jessa won first place in her age category. And that sums up  most everything. Pictures...will be coming. ;)
