Handsome Boy with ribbonsI took the day off from working on the King Charles Commission. As I mentioned in an earlier post about my trip, I was honored to receive First Place Other Media at the Miniature Art Show. My pastel painting, Handsome Boy, also received the Headwaters Art and Conference Center Purchase Prize.
