Scarborough Renaissance Festival Waxahachie, Texas When you think about Medieval times, one wonders off into fairytale land where Dragons glimmer the landscape with their breath of fire. At the Ren Fair you may indulge your merry clan with oodles of dragons in all sizes and up to large statues spitting water. The shops at the festival always capture my heart and pocketbook! I can’t leave without a souvenir to relic my walls, neck or head! This photo was tough or me to work with. It would turn out all green or all gold; sadly without a focal trophy in the scene. So, once again, I decided to create a painting with it….no more greeeeeen! Click here to visit my review and full blog: Valorous Days At The Renaissance Festival! Digitally painted from my original photo!
Bluebonnet Park Highway 287 ~ Ennis, Texas In search of the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails, along Highway 287 from Waxahachie, eye-popping blue florals and Indian Paint Brushes glazed chromatically just as we entered the boundaries of this quaint Texas town. Pulling off toward the right and up a hill we entered Bluebonnet Park which is part of the West Trails. The park rests peacefully next to Bardwell Lake (great for fishing) with picnic gazebos, park benches, play areas, walking trails, softball fields and good ole’ restroom facilities. This is an excellent afternoon hangout for families or anyone wanting to take photos! I wanted to create a painting from one of the picnic gazebos since it was such a serene and secluded section of the park. The bluebonnets bounced around the grass and covered fields beyond.
