Although we had fewer paintings for our Miniature Masterpiece Show than previous years, the quality of the work sure has made up for it! And due to Covid-19 and safety measures we were unable to do the People's Choice award this year. Instead, our recognition awards were judged by five of our eight owner artists, ending in a three way tie! Congratulations to Debbie Littleton, Kay Lybrand and Paula Robertson. We also wanted to recognize Debanjana Bhattacharjee as her piece was a close second. All work is now hanging and available for sale in the gallery, each piece is $150. If you are interested in a piece you may want to act fast, we have already had several sell! Thank you to all who participated! Wishing you a happy and safe holiday season--we will miss seeing you all but hope you will stop in and see the show!
