My painting pictured here and titled "Swift Bay Farm Barn" was awarded “Best of Show” at the Plein Air Painters of Washington and San Juan Preservation Trust Annual paint-out event, Saturday, July 30th. It has sold to a private collector on Orcas Island.

A second piece, titled "Deer Harbor Overlook" was painted during the event on Saturday and also sold to a private collector from San Juan Island during the art auction. Half the proceeds from that auction are donated to The San Juan Preservation Trust. Approximately one dozen auction benefit pieces were sold during the event, as well as several paintings displayed at the outdoor exhibit.
