QUICK DRAW PAINT-OUT
ROPING A PAINTING in 2 ½ hours!
OPEN TO ALL ARTISTS!
SATURDAY, October 28, 2017
9:00 to 11:30am
San Angelo Fairgrounds, 200 West 43rd Street
Come out to the Fairgrounds and wander among the horses and cowboys and prize goats and lambs… and ARTISTS! Artists? You bet yer’ lucky horseshoe!
At 9:00am, with paintbrushes ready, artists from at least 19 states, Nova Scotia and Italy begin to paint and try to lasso the essence of West Texas on their canvases in a short 2 ½ hours. Artists may choose from the indoor roping competition at the 1st Community Federal Credit Union Spur Arena, the Junior Livestock Show with over 400 youth and their animals, or any of the roping fiesta areas with the cowboys and their horses.
At 11:30am, with a big HOOEY!, the artists stop painting and frame their artwork for judging. A HOOEY is the final loop by the rider when roping a calf.
HIGH NOON ~ all paintings will be in the judging area on their easels in front of the Housley Communications Cattle Barn for judging. This is the building with the big red star in the pavement. Awards will be presented shortly afterwards by 2017 EnPleinAirTEXAS judge Roger Dale Brown. This is your opportunity to see and purchase the artwork created this morning all over the fairgrounds! Meet the artists and take home an amazing souvenir of the day!
