Contest Winner




A church in our area had an art contest with the theme "Community and Communion". They planned on picking six winning artworks and buying them. Well, mine was one of the ones picked! I haven't won an art contest of any type since I was in high school, so this is refreshing. Plus, some extra money will be nice too.

Thanks

Thanks, everyone -

Here's the artwork. I pre-tested how it looks on several computers at school - many showed it just right, but a few showed it as way too dark. Let me know if it's hard to see. I haven't gotten around to calibrating my monitor yet, so I can't really judge from home base.

Oh - almost forgot. The title is "Grace like the Rain".

Julie, no wonder you won with this painting! I think it's my favorite of all your work, and I love the title too.
