Scroll down to take a visual journey of the
FESTIVAL OF COLORS
poster from inception to finished product.

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.
