Allied Artists of America 96th Annual Exhibition

Paul McCormack Daughter of Hope Watercolor

This past Sunday, I attended the Awards Reception of the Allied Artists of America 96th Annual Exhibition at the National Arts Club in New York City. It was a fantastic turnout, and I heard often how high was the caliber of the paintings in this year's juried show. I am so very honored to have been included in the 250 piece show, and I can only hope that I will be able to participate again in a future exhibit.
