Meet Miss April~
Painting by Brylee Judy, a senior at Republic County. I watched this student almost everyday in December, literally paint this tractor with a paint brush that had (not even kidding you) one bristle. What’s even more impressive, is she’s giving it away! We drew names for a Christmas art exchange in class. She made this piece based on a fellow student’s interests...tractors and women 🤣
This piece will be on display at the Dane Hansen Art Museum January 28-February 27th. If you are in Logan I encourage you to check out RepCo student’s work. You won’t be disappointed!!!
