Best in Show!

Christina Blais was awarded "Best in Show" for a piece she almost did not enter! Submitting her "Yoga Dog" to the Milford Arts Center PAWS exhibit, she was asked if she had any other animal works. She went home, and returned with "Green Fish" which was awarded a $150 prize for its artistry, great use of color, and fine detail, said juror Tina Summers.
