When the night was nearly over, Suzanne caught us, the host and hostess winding down for the evening in the coolness of it all.

 Honorable Mention was given to Suzanne Rose for her portrait of daughter Delilah titled DEAR ONE.

  1. What a wonderful event. I love all the paintings and hope to one day be able to be there for the show. I wish I could paint, but all I can offer of a portrait of myself is something that resembles Pee Wee Herman. xo, Carrie Stidwell O'Boyle
