July 7 and 8^th, 2012, I participated in my first outdoor painting competition, this one to coincide with New London, Ct.’s Op-Sail event; an annual tall ship and street festival. I was pleased to win one of the prizes for one of the paintings I submitted for the gallery show.  It was sponsored by the Gallery at Firehouse Square, and organized by Katie Fogg, the gallery manager.
