"Explorations in Colored Pencil IV" Award Winners

The opening reception for our chapter show, "Explorations in Colored Pencil IV" was held Friday, September 4, 5:30 - 8:30 PM at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto.  Attendance was huge thanks to PAL's Anniversary Show reception at the same time!  Many more people were exposed to the versatility of colored pencil than we normally could have reached.
