OPA Gold Medal!

 

Oil Painters of America 2020 Eastern Regional Exhibition Gold Medal

After a circuitous cross-country trip, Charles' gold medal for "Whispers" has arrived in the mail. We're still a little stunned!

Back in late December we made a quick trip over to Reinert Fine Art in Charleston SC to see the Oil Painters of America Eastern Regional Exhibition, and to bid a fond farewell to "Whispers" before she was off to her new home.
