"Prairie Bonnet" Wins Second Place at the Spanish Moss Miniature Art Show!

My miniature painting, "Prairie Bonnet" won second place at the Spanish Moss Miniature Art Show in Mobile Alabama. All three of my paintings, "Serenity-Lowlands Gorilla", "Lillies and Lace", and "Praire Bonnet" were accepted into this pretigeous show, and will hang through the month of March at the Mobile Art Council on Dauphin Street at Cathedral Square in Mobil, Alabama.

Thank you to all involved in the show, I'm honored to have been selected into the show, and winning an award was a pleasant and unexpected surprise! See this link for more information about the show: (Serenity, Lowlands Gorilla is on the bottom left):

I wish I lived close enough to see the show, but if you live nearby, it's certain to be worth a trip to see....many talented artists, gorgeous work, a wonderful place to shop for an original miniature painting to add to your collection....

Cheers!
