We had a wonderful State Exhibit opening reception on March 7th. Many people braved the snow to join the event, and enjoy the music, the food, the relaxed atmosphere and the great art in the exhibit.
During the awards ceremony, I had the pleasure to receive the Stephen Quiller Award from juror Carl Dalio (moment shown in the photo above) for my painting The Baker and his Shop. (Thanks to Stephen Quiller for the donation that made this award possible.) The high quality of all the artwork in the show, my respect for the juror and my admiration of Quiller all make this award pretty special.
The exhibition is open until the 30th, at the Lone Tree Arts Center in Lone Tree, Colorado, and I hope many more people have a chance to visit it.
