This is another couple enjoying the Art Deco festivities here. It's great to see ordinary people dressing up and having a great time celebrating!! Thanks again to Jules for the photo! I have loved doing these paintings in this challenge, especially because they are all everyday people!

An older couple out strolling during Art Deco week... I liked that they were both dressed in cream!! Thousands of people from all over the world come here and dress up to celebrate the 20s and 30s. The festival runs for a week every February with hundreds of events. Pretty much something for everyone!! The color is not so good in this one, it looks better in real life!

One of the many spectators on a balcony at Art Deco Weekend. Every year in February our city celebrates it annual festival. Thousands of people dress up in 1920's -30's fashion and over 40,000 people flock from all over the world into Napier to see it transform back in time and enjoy this iconic event. Thanks to Jules 'Suspended Time In Photography' for allowing me to use this image!!

Number seventeen...what to paint?  I have been looking around the house for  different things to paint for this challenge and this is what I came up with....my costume I wore to celebrate Art Deco Weekend a couple of years ago. Napier City  was rebuilt in the Art deco style after the massive 1931 earthquake. Every February we celebrate  and everyone dresses in deco style, it's a fun weekend with lots of different events!!
