Specquackular & NancyThe theme for Renton River Days was “Specquackular” revolving around their annual rubber ducky races. I pursued that category with a design that included the theme word calligraphically across the images of rubber duckies cascading down a wild waterfall (2nd picture)SpecQuackular color sketch. However, when I arrived I discovered words are not allowed in the drawing but I could include them outside the 42″ box. I quickly had to rethink my design! It was a tie for first place with the judges reconvening to decide. The other chalk drawing was great, and I was sure it would win, but I praise the Lord I won! It’s a bit grueling in the hot sun and a 3 hour time limit. I completed it in 2 hours 15 minutes.
