Prize Winner - Best In Show

What happened to May and most of June? Where did they go? May was very busy - two outdoor art festivals and a group show at the Courthouse Galleries in Portsmouth, VA.

The show at the Courthouse Galleries is in connection with an art group that I belong to, the Elizabeth River Artists. The theme of this show is "Fresh Paint" and the paintings must be new and never shown before. I had paintings earmarked for this show that I had worked on this past winter and spring. Fortunately for me, I had more sales than I had anticipated so I had to paint more so that I had work for this show at the end of May.
On the first Saturday in June, the juror held a talk in the gallery. She did an excellent job and went through the entire show speaking on each piece. She made some wonderful comments on all three of my pieces and the winner in particular. Here is a picture of the juror with my painting.

Hi Laura
Congrats on your painting being selected as an award winner at 'Fresh Paint'...it does appear that the juror is the well respected Ann Vernon formerly of the Chrysler Museum...to have her speak of your work is surely an honor.
