Best of Show!

I just returned from the opening reception of the Dayton Society of Painters and Sculptors annual holiday exhibit and I found out I received a Best of Show award. It was a selection amongst the new members only, but hey, who cares? - I'm still absolutely thrilled! Especially since it was for a painting, which is so new for me. I've only been painting since 2006, so any type of validation is great - especially this type. Thank you, DSPS, and juror, for your support and encouragement!
