Travel Theme: Paint

Ailsa has set the theme this week at Where's My Backpack? to: paint.Right. Got my brushes ready! I'm going to town.First! I saw this super-airbrushed, mega-painted truck at a rest area somewhere in France. I have yet to understand what gnomes at a swimming hole have to do with long-distance hauling, but nevertheless...behold!In my town we have a fabulous movie theater, recently lovingly restored to all its art deco glory. If you're ever in Lewisburg, make sure you catch a movie at the Campus Theatre. The art painted on the walls alone is worth the price of admission.'tis the season. Lots of face paint. Me as a zombie, getting ready for a Zombie Run 5K. (Also, please note: the copyright is correct, as this was a selfie. An incredibly successful selfie, but a selfie nonetheless.)Next! It was a lovely day at Montour Preserve, and this painted turtle was out for a bit of sun.And finally. En plein air painters hauled their paints and their easels and their canvases up to the top of Whiteface Mountain to work on a painting of Lake Placid, a/k/a "The Gem of the Adirondacks". Because...that's easy? (OK, there is an elevator you can take. And it is very pretty indeed. But still.)Thanks for checking out my photos! Enjoy the rest of Ailsa's photo challenge participants...or play along, yourself! See you 'round the interwebs.
