What a Great Day!

What a great day!  Thank you to all 49 artists who participated in the contest.  You had unpredictable Maryland weather to deal with: storms, wind rain , heat, humidity as well as insects and mud!  Your work captured the fields and green of summer. It was a joy to see you all out there painting on location.

Congratulations to the winners and compliments to everyone else.
