The WIP from the last post is now a completed color piece.

That leaves me with one trade still in the queue, though that one will be a traditionally colored piece with Prisma colored pencils on toned paper.
Looking up information on the upcoming Oklahoma State Fair, I have until August 16th to register any artwork or photos I will be entering this year for free. I can hold off until September 1st if need be, but I'm not too keen on paying the late fee of $10. Doesn't sound like much, but hey... Ten bucks is ten bucks!
Photo-wise, I'll probably be submitting a few of the ones I took while on a trip to Portland, Oregon in March to visit with family. Art-wise, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to enter this year. Last year ended up being a total bust in terms of getting anything done... This year won't be a repeat.
I've dug up a fifteen year old childrens novel manuscript from a box of my old writing for inspiration. It's a story that will never be published and the original art that inspired it was stolen from me back in high school. I've thought time and time again over the years of redoing that old, lost image in my current style with my much improved skills. I think this year...will be the year to make that happen. And I'll submit that finished piece to the OK State Fair for their art competition.
