McMinnville, Oregon has a UFO Fest every year. I snapped the reference photo for this oil painting at the 2025 celebration last week. I'm probably going to let it dry for a bit now and do some light glazing later on.

I love this! Totally agree with @tetris11@lemmy.ml, the feeling of alienation here is fantastic and works on so many levels.

Alienation is a good word, thank you!
