I received some great news on 12/20/14 from Oil Painters of America regarding this painting. It was awarded First Place in the Associate Division of OPA's Fall Online Showcase.  This piece was my entry in the 2014 American Impressionist Society National Exhibition which ran from Oct. 2, 2014 to Nov.1 at the Abend Gallery in Denver. Thanks to Abend for selling the painting and doing a great job of hosting the show!
