Last year, Kevin’s Cards did live painting demos at the Alameda County Fair after going on hiatus from 2017 – 2022. While the concept was nice, it was slower than I anticipated mainly due to the number of people that saw me paint and a weak advertisement.

“Best of Kevin’s Cards: 10 Years of Painting”
Over the last 10 years, I’ve created a lot of paintings inspired by Bob Ross landscapes from The Joy of Painting on PBS, and most of them have been made into greeting cards.

Painting Demo Recap
This weekend, I hosted four painting demos at the Alameda County Fair. During my first year in 2016, I did it in my booth, but it didn’t go as planned mainly due to set-up, clean up, and low attendance. This time, I decided to doing in Building C, which would attract more visitors. While it… Continue reading Painting Demo Recap
