Comments From Judge About Show:
Thisspring show has a wonderful and uplifting feeling, well balanced work of dedicated artists. Oils seemed to dominate the show with a very traditional and classical style. A few Watercolorists took a break to experiment and uses of their creativity with other medium. The artistic eye of the photographers showed its diversity. The Best of Show in acrylic (Jim Collins-The Challenger) was a tour de force and a tribute to wildlife at its best!
Congratulations to all.
