The first presentations were to those artists who earned their NPS Signature status. Below are just a few of the paintings in the exhibition. It was a pleasure and honor to present the above awards. Not to detract from those selected for an award, I wish to also congratulate and thank all those who entered this show.
Competition is just one of the hills on the highway to excellence.
The steeper the hills the greater the challenge. This next picture is of some of the award winners that were present at the artist reception. It is with deep gratitude that I thank the juror, Madlyn-Ann C. Woolwich, for her dedication and hard work. Her sincerity and expertise is appreciated by all.
