Fire Station #1 Casa Grande - #22814 by Candy Barr
16 x 20 inches Oil on canvas
Last weekend there was an all day Casa Grande Plein Air Event.
Over 50 artists participated with 3 winners. The Captain at the fire station wanted my
painting if it didn't go for the purchase awards.. so there it proudly hangs!
Love chatting with the firemen in between their outings all day. They are such pillars of our communities.
So many coming and goings, and cases of mental illness emergencies rather than
fires if you know much about what too many of their calls are for.

Twenty five years ago false alarms were half the number of fires, today false alarms significantly exceed the number of fires.
According to Nightline it costs $3,500
every time a fire truck pulls out of a fire station in Washington, DC
(25 calls in a 24 hour shift is not uncommon so this adds up
quickly). Moreover, most of the time the call is not for a fire but
for a minor medical problem. In many cities, both fire trucks and
ambulances respond to the same calls. The paramedics do a great job but
it is hard to believe that this is an efficient way to deliver medical
care and transportation. A few locales have experimented with more
rational systems. For example:

Pretty days this week - they say peek foliage this weekend.
More interesting to be out painting than listening to news.

Grazing Cows - #9213 by Candy Barr
12 x 18 Inches Oil on Birch Ply
The cows went by and I started with them, and pushed everything back
and to either side, and why not add a pond? The trees just are not elegant enough.
I need to simplify more or step up the brush work of definition. The colors are fun though.
Tough to like everything. Maybe it's not done?
