Congratulations to Mae Powell for placing 4th in the on-site painting competition at the 27th Junior National Beta Convention this past June! Her prompt was to do a still life that was set up in front of the participants and they had 90 minutes to replicate the setup.
Way to represent Riverside, Mae!!!
