I am delighted and honoured to announce that my oil painting "Grey Whale, Morning Light" won Best of Show at last week's glorious paint out in Gualala, California. So happy and grateful! Thank you to esteemed judges Gail Wight and Joe Ferriso, as well as curators Anne Vernon and Kendra Stillman, and the wonderful team at Gualala Arts. Congratulations to my fellow painters on a fantastic show. Looking forward to next year's event!
