Best Creativity. Enclosed is a picture of me at the April 22nd-23rd Artists of Minnesota Stillwater Spring Show. I won the Best Creativity Award in the Transparent Watercolor Category, voted on by the member artists. This piece is called "Cornucopia Jim."
I also had a piece, "On Mt. Valhalla," accepted into the juried Minnesota Watercolor Society's Spring Show currently hanging at the Colonial Church of Edina off Tracy Avenue. The show will hang until mid May with the awards night being May 5th.
See you Sunday.
