Thanks to the Providence Art Club for recognizing my painting "Old Mystic Gold" with an Honorable Mention.

The juror, Jeanne C. Potter, humbles me with her kind testimonial: "One can't help but think of the Luminists and Hudson River Painters who celebrated light and atmosphere in this beautiful landscape which draws the viewer up the sunset river to the little house with its tiny lit window. The artist is in complete control of his subject creating a timeless image of a fleeting moment."

Thanks, Jeanne!
