County Fair Entry #1 - The Doctor

The Martin Co. Fair opens on Tuesday. Entries for the various competitions are due on Monday. In the next couple of posts I'll show you what I'm submitting this year.

First up is - The Doctor

The Doctor
The Doctor is painted with acrylic paint on a canvas board that was prepared with scraps of paper to give it texture.

The frame is enhanced with mechanical and electrical scrap salvaged from an older project that failed. The chain in the upper right is for the monster he's bringing to life in his laboratory.

Now the difficult part is determining which category this fits. Class A - Fine Arts (Paintings and Drawings) Lot 3 Acrylic.... okay but does the inclusion of other material (the paper on the canvas and the scraps on the frame) put it into Lot 7 Mixed Media?

The Acrylic category is further divided into a) still life b) animal or bird c) scenery d)portrait e) floral or f) other. The Mixed Media category is not. It's a catch all.

I could, I guess put it into Lot 9 - Not Specified - also a catch all for all the leftover whatnots and whosits.
