Evening at the Fair

Children's book illustration showing and evening scene at a country fair. In the background are carnival rides and silhouettes of people. In the foreground are hay bales, with a boy sitting one top of one, sharing his cotton candy with a prize winning goat. A little girl is laying on her back on the straw bales, playing with a teddy bear. And their dad slumps against the base of the straw, his hat pulled low over his eyes while he dozes. His foot has knocked over his popcorn, and a prize-winning pig is helping itself to the spilled pop corn.

A personal piece inspired by my local county fair. 

Acrylic gouache and colored pencils on hot press Arches watercolor paper.
