My Entry in the PAAM 12×12 Show

The Provincetown Art Association and Museum holds an annual Members Show. Members submit a single work on a 12″ x 12″ Masonite panel. There is a silent auction of the works for the duration of the show with bidding starting at $125. Forty percent goes to support the Museum.

My entry this year is this still life, Amaryllis.
