My recent pastel painting “Yellow House at the End” received a “Best of Landscape” award at the 52nd Annual Spring Exhibition at the Morris Graves Museum of Art in Eureka, CA this past weekend. This is one of a continuing series I have been developing over the past few years of compositions from local alleys and street views from the area in which I live. The juror for this event was Debra Lehane, curator of the Voigt Family Sculpture Foundation in Geyserville, CA.
