This was taken yesterday at the Center for Art & Education in Van Buren, Arkansas at the 34th Annual Adult Art Competition Art Show opening reception and awards presentation. My “Sweet Gums at Sunset” which was #13 won the Ethel Ashley Founders Design Award. This is the painting that I painted from our own (AW) Ropati Leaso-Cobb’s photo. I hope that you enjoy!
