Opening Reception - Juried Show

This year we had a lovely evening for the opening reception of our juried show, unlike last year when we held our reception during what seemed like a monsoon.

It was great to look at our program and see the large number of our members who participated in our show. What a variety of work we have!

We were so lucky to have Christine Ivers come down all the way from Connecticut to be our judge, and to conduct our upcoming workshop this week. 

As usual we had amazing food, and plenty of it, and a big turnout of guests. Thanks to all who brought food, all who helped set up, all who helped prepare for this marvelous show in any way. We also had plenty of wine, and plenty of customers who enjoyed it.

We also have to thank our judge who spent a great deal of time writing down her impressions of each prize-winning painting, and the features that made each of the paintings stand out. Therefore, if you were not there tonight, you'll have to wait a little longer to find out who won! I've been promised a softcopy of the judge's remarks, and when I post the winning paintings here I want to make sure I include all the remarks that showed their wonderful qualities.

So congratulations to all our winners, but listed above are all our show entries. Congratulations to everyone who entered a piece in our juried show this year.

Meanwhile, come see Chris's demo at noon tomorrow at the CCPVB. It should be awesome! Free for workshop participants, $10 for other members and $20 for non-members.
