Franklin Park Arts Center will be accepting submissions for a show, The Barns & Farms of Loudoun, in early November. The show itself runs through the holiday season. I’m entering a painting, if I can get it finished and framed (a wink to Richard) by then. It’s a landscape of Potomac Vegetable Farms in Wheatland, and it depicts the lettuce patch in the farmstand garden with mountains beyond (hopefully I’ll be able to post a pic soon). While I like a good barn or equestrian scene as much as the next guy — well, maybe less than the next guy — I feel that paintings of vegetable farms are seriously underrepresented. If all goes according to plan, there will soon be one for all to see at Franklin Park.
