We were so happy to have "Witzel Art" in the house to make the picks for this year's show--John has been a member of our gallery for years and through that time his work has had so many great achievements. John spent much of the afternoon on Friday mulling over the incredible body of work submitted for the show and after much deliberation, made his picks. Congratulations to Jodi Hudson for "Ripples of Wonder" taking 1st place. 2nd Place went to Christine Dryden, "But What You May Reach" and 3rd place went to Sheryl Detert for "Through the Forest Mist". Honorable Mention went to Martha Manco with "Backlit". John create another ribbon for an emerging artist, Rachel Vaughn, for "Morning Bliss" encouraging her to continue on her art journey. All the paintings submitted are worthy of praise and truly worth seeing. The show will hang through the month of December so please stop by--we certainly have plenty of great ideas for some unique gift giving this season!
