The two-day sale included a spectacular display of featured artist Gina Webber and a raffle prize – a beautiful original Lynn Peterson watercolor painting titled, “Sunny Ones.”

Reception attendees enjoyed hors d’oeuvres prepared by Altrusa members and wine courtesy of Manor Market. They also voted on their favorite works and Laura Diko took home the Best of Show prize for her watercolor “The Green Church.” Three artists were given People’s Choice awards. The first place winner was Dick Buhler, while Elizabeth Wistrom and Evanne Jardine took home second and third place, respectively.
