I sent two pieces to the Lake County Fair this year and I am pleased to say that Virgil took Best In Show!

A huge thank you to everyone who puts on the fair!

Artwork is just a small (but important) part of my world.

The rest of my life is taken up with two feral boys, and lots of animals

Finally got photos of this piece with my big camera so here he is!

You can see him in person coming up at the Mendocino County Fair & Apple Show later this month

Life is crazy with two country boys but I managed to get some time in my studio in between helping to halter break next years steer project for my 9 year old!

This guy is almost done!

The last few months have been a bit crazy as we prepared for my oldest sons first year at fair with a market animal. He took one of our home raised steers and did an incredible job! So of course my focus was there.

I did however manage to enter a few pieces in the art building and im pleased to say I came home with a Best in Division for Virgil!

All in all it was a great fair for our little family unit!
