Award of Distinction: Leesburg FL Spring Show



Saturday March 9th was a very special day!  The award reception for the Leesburg Art League spring show was held in the Center for the Arts.  The way the awards are given there is a Best of Show (gold ribbon).  Then the next two awards are called "Awards of Distinction" (blue ribbons) and then after that 3 awards of merit (red ribbon) and I believe several honorable mentions (white ribbons). 

I was really very pleased.  This is my first award at the LAA show.  And there is a sizable cash award that goes with this!!! ($125).  Wow. 

Each winner was asked to say a few words about their painting (which is what I am doing in the second photo).  A pleasant way to spend an afternoon!!!
