\"The<\/a>
The unfinished ‘Sunday Parade’ on the easel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This weekend is the annual Festival of the Fish in Vermilion. \u00a0Our town of 9,000 is filled with tens of thousands of visitors during the festival. \u00a0There is entertainment and games of chance. \u00a0Vermilion, with its marinas and beaches is\u00a0a summertime destination anyway,\u00a0becomes a carnival town for three days.\u00a0\u00a0The roads were\u00a0blocked off for the\u00a0parade yesterday so I walked the two miles into town with my Nikon D5200. I took 250 photographs. Looking at them later back in the studio, I was excited to see so many useful photos. Even though it was muggy and threatening rain, like today, I got a lot of good photos. \u00a0I can use 20% for paintings.<\/p>\n

The weirdest thing, which I didn’t notice at the time, is three photos I took of of a man and wife. \u00a0I had taken photos of the same couple in the same spot two years ago and I am already using one of them in a painting. Odd, no? \u00a0Odder still is that they were wearing the same clothing yesterday as they were two years ago. \u00a0Like I said, I didn’t notice it at the time but while I was looking through the photos I recognized the couple in my painting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
