I win an award

“Project 19a (mostly black) was awarded the Carrie Simon Memorial Award by the Canton Artists’ Guild at their annual open juried show.

The artist in front of his painting at the Gallery on the Green on opening night. And what is that Jack-o-Lantern? Well, they hung my painting by the entry door (a very visible spot) where they also put out their literature and such.

The Guild is Connecticut’s oldest continuously running artists guild and among its most prestigious. The Guild runs the Gallery on the Green in Canton, CT, and Project 19a will be on display there through early November.

They gave it a prominent place for display — just inside the front door to the gallery — which is why there is an odd little table with a jack-o-lantern under it. But, hey, everyone who comes into the gallery certainly gets to see it. The Juror was Mell Scalzi of the Frances Griswold Museum in Old Lyme CT.

Kinda cool.

Here is the painting:
