The Peanut factory closed up in the horribly hot summer of 1980 in Aubrey Texas. There is still a very down-home celebration of the peanut every year, on the grounds of the peanut factory. We live a block from there and it was fun to be a part of such a small town effort. It is like going back to a simpler time...
Here are a few sketches of the Peanut Festival by me (an Aubrey Nut!)

Small town America is really where the magic happens...especially during festival times like this...A nice flavor of your little corner of the world... I love the people sketches...so genuine :)
These are charming. How fun to be part of that tradition.
These sketches are great...sounds like such fun...the Aubrey Peanut Festival. Small Towns are great...we have the Curwood Festival every year in June! I love the softness of your sketches
Simple, fresh, lovely.
I feel like I got to attend the festival!
Really like your watercolors. That is some Texan men for sure!
Really nice, natural depiction and a great visual record: from your hand/eye...to the page...to us-your audience.
Very fun watercolors Lisa! I just love the top one--you used so many colors all together and it works so well!
Wonderful. You did a great job with the watercolors and the subject matter.
Great sketches, I can just imagine being there.
