2026 Library Fine Arts Show
Best of Show Winner
Congratulations to Sharon Hernly on her Best of Show ribbon for “Owl”, a lovely oil painting of a young owl.
The judge was impressed by Sharon’s use of both fine details for the owl’s face and the vibrant, loose brushwork of the background. Add that to the use of sunlight and shadows, and the painting really placed you right in the scene.
To top it off, a visitor bought this painting within 15 minutes of us opening the show!
