Painting PRAIRIE SKIES Goes to Washington, DC

Here I am by my pastel painting "Prairie Skies" that will be hanging
for the next year in one the Wyoming Congressional Offices in Washington, DC!


What an honor and surprise this past weekend to be awarded one of 3 Congressional Awards at the Wyoming Artist Convention held this year in Cheyenne!   It was such a busy weekend with nonstop activities, meetings and workshops... as they say you could have knocked me over with a feather when some of my friends told me not only did my painting "Prairie Skies" win a years stay in Washington DC with our states' Congressmen or Representative but I also took 1st Place in Graphics with my ink drawing "Night at the Symphony"!  Needless to say my first year belonging to the Wyoming Artists Association has turned into and eventful and exciting year!

"Night at the Symphony 3" Won 1st Place in the Graphics Division
