Ray
has created a painting
for the New Albany, Indiana 2002 Harvest Homecoming Festival
poster.
To
reflect the season, rustic colors of autumn, pumpkins, corn,
apples and mums pour forth from the painting.
The
American flag painted on a distant barn
reflects the increased sense of patriotism
that permeates our country since September
11, 2001.

The
FESTIVAL
OF COLOR theme
not only gives focus to the obvious colors of the season,
but the sense of unity that results as the nation
proudly "flies it's colors" for the world to
see.
Ray
transfers the initial concept drawing
to 300 lb. Arches watercolor paper.
A Floyd County barn, photographed in 1980
along Conservation Road, NE of Georgetown,
has become the setting for this idyllic scene.
However, by the time October arrives it won't
seem so very far from reality after all.
Above, the
completed painting.
