2011 Idaho State Fair Fine Arts Awards

Jordan Valley Rodeo--First Place Western

My three entries in the Idaho State Fair this year each won top awards! "Jordan Valley Rodeo" won First Place in the Professional-Western category, "Miss Rodeo Idaho" won Honorable Mention in the Professional-Portraits category, and "Essie's Garden, Parma" won Honorable Mention in the Professional Floral/Still Life category. I also conducted a watercolor painting technique demonstration at the Fine Arts Exhibition Hall.
