Jury Duty

Yesterday I had the privilege and honor to jury the monthly show at the Art League in Alexandria. There were more than 700 entries!

This is always a tough job, as the Art League has so many talented members. It is always also a discovery for me, and what I did discover in this task was the amazing work of the Best of Show winner, Wendy Donahoe.

To say that the work is breath-taking in not only its technical facility, but also its ability to grasp a psychological moment from the subject, would be an understatement. More on all of this later when I have images and websites from the award winners.

The opening is tonight from 6:30 to 8:30pm with awards around 7:30pm. You can see the award winners and others here.
