Lemon Shake-Up
"Lemon Shake-Up" by Lesley Spanos. Oil painting on Raymar canvas panel, 6 x 8". Copyright ©2010 Lesley Spanos, all rights reserved.
Combine fresh lemons, sugar, and water with ice in a cup and shake it, and you have the Lemon Shake-Up, a popular thirst quencher in some parts of the US.
This Lemon Shake-Up tent caught my attention because the yellow canopy cast a lemony glow on everything beneath it.

Painting the State Fair
State Fair, USA is artist Lesley Spanos' tribute to the American agricultural fair. "Just about anything I would want to paint can be found at the Fair."
The series is the culmination of years of research. Spanos has photographed and sketched her local fair - the Indiana State Fair - extensively for the past four summers, amassing a large collection of reference material for working in-studio. Ultimately the collection is destined for a book and fine art reproductions. (Read about the project in more depth here.)

I love your site, just came over here by way of the ‘Lincoln Challenge’ – you are onto something, ‘everything one would ever want to paint’ is absolutely at the fair – do you ever post any pages from your sketchbooks?
