So every year I submit a piece to go into a show in my hometown Museum, The Whistler House Museum. The Museum is the birthplace of James McNeil Whistler and provides the city of Lowell Massachusetts with some beautiful art. Lowell is a city full of culture with is wide diversity. I like to give back to the city as much as I can, so I usually put a piece or 2 in the Annual Members Show. This year, I won second place for my piece "Acorn Squash". Its very rewarding for me to win in my hometown as it gives my family a chance to see what I do. I'm attaching a link to the show. If you are ever in the city, drop by and see the Museum. Their collection consists of many good artists ranging from John Singer Sargent, to Arshille Gorky and and some beautiful William McGregor Paxson. My favorites are the Aldro T. Hibbards known mostly as a "Rockport Artist". http://www.whistlerhouse.org/ http://0322b53.netsolhost.com/000/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=...
