CONGRATULATIONS CCAG MEMBER NANCY DEE!!!!

CCAG MEMBER NANCY DEE WINS 2ND PLACE IN INTERNATIONAL SHOW

"Morgan County Angular Moment"  (Pastel Painting)

The Mile High International Pastel Exhibit recently informed Nancy Dee of Haxtun, CO, a Cheyenne County Art Guild member, that her pastel painting "Morgan County Angular Moment" received a 2nd Place Award in the 10th Annual Mile High International Pastel Exhibition being held at the Denver Public Library in Denver, CO.   Dee's artwork was also chosen by the Denver Public Library's graphic designer to be one of four displayed on the "poster" for the event.

In addition three important milestones are happening concurrently with this show in Denver.  This year is the 10th Anniverssary of the Pastel Society of Colorado (PSC) hosting the show, the 20th Anniversary of the Pastel Society of Colorado, and the 125th Anniversary of the Denver Public Library.  Because of all the anniversaries, the PSC askedd several of the previous judges of this show to display a painting as part of the exhibit.  These past judges are a "Who's Who" of celebrities in the national pastel painting world according to a press release issued by the Pastel Society of Colorado.

The 10th annual Mile High International Pastel Exhibition is on the seventh floor of the Denver Public Library in the Vida Ellison Art Gallery.
Gallery hours: Mon - Fri, 10 AM - 5 PM, Sat. 9 AM - 5 PM, and Sun. 1 - 5 PM.  Nancy Dee said,  "If you get a chance, this is a great show (to see) and if you have any interest in pastel, don't miss it."  The show closes August 30, 2014.

The Cheyenne County Art Guild congratulates Nancy Dee on this fine award and accomplishment!  For more information about the Pastel Society of Colorado go to www.pastelsocietyofcolorado.org.  To see more of Nancy Dee’s work go to www.frenchmancreek.com.
