Blue Hill Fair

The Blue Hill Fair is in town this weekend – scene of Charlotte’s triumph and Wilbur’s fame in E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. Remember that “TERRIFIC,” “RADIANT,” and finally “HUMBLE” pig? There were plenty of descendants of Wilbur there this year as well as a diverse cast of furry and feathered characters. I was there, too, snapping photos of everything on four feet – 110 shots on my little Nikon CoolPix! Here is a sneak preview of what you may see in pen-and-ink or woodblock prints down the line.

"So Sweet!"

"Sheer Insouciance"

"Bullish Optimism for Bearish Times"

"A Couple of Coworkers"

Last fall I took my camera to the Blue Hill Fair and took shot after shot of the farm animals. This winter I finally had some time to draw a few of them. Stayed tuned! There are more to come.
