The nearby city of Hutchinson celebrates the arts every Third Thursday. As a fundraiser, they had a number of artists alter a thrift store painting, then auctioned them off at last night’s Third Thursday event. This is the beautiful print I started with…
First, I roughly blocked in my plan. I wanted to leave the original scene, but just add an event. I like that the street scene itself transcends time, but the things happening on the street change. Like the horse and carriage turned “vintage” camper.
I had a fun time imagining fun little details, and the street fair theme seemed entirely appropriate for a Third Thursday event.

I decided I needed to paint the frame to match better and update it a bit as well…

I think whimsy was the theme of the day! Well done everyone!
