The gala event was attended by a large crowd of both artists and locals coming to support our local Art Alliance of Idyllwild. Josh Whitney won artist Rachel Welch’s acrylic on canvas titled “Daily Practice.” “Daily Practice” won two awards: First Place Representational and First Place Artist’s Choice. Below left, Judy Milin stops to enjoy “Spirit of Lily Rock,” painted in acrylic, that won a second place ribbon in the representational category. Colin Garth Smith, the artist, also created the beautiful unique frame.
