What a surprise and honor it is to win Best of Edwards County AND People's Choice Award for this street scene painting on Main and 5th in Albion! Thanks to @averilgoodman and the whole committee for hosting the Edwards County Paint Out, an event I love to paint! This historic square in Albion, Illinois is full of small town charm. I started this one thinking the rain would hold off. As it started to rain, I popped in the car to work. When it stopped, I hopped out - only to feel the rain picking back up again. Ink and watercolor can't be rained on - so back in I went. Starting late in the day, this was quite a bit to bite off before turn in. It was challenging and fun - and definitely worth the effort! Painting number 5011 in 5011 days, and it will be hanging in the local bank.
