I am so honored to have had "Crescent Lake Sunrise" chosen.  If you have never visited the New Britain Museum of American Art, I invite you to do so.  NBMAA is a treasure trove of art.  "The visitor can experience an entire survey of our nation’s artists ranging from John Singleton Copley, Frederic Church, and Thomas Cole, to Georgia O’Keeffe, Thomas Hart Benton and Sol LeWitt. The collection is especially rich in American Impressionism; Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Theodore Robinson, Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman, Julian Alden Weir, Willard Metcalf, Frank Benson, Frederick Frieseke, Richard Miller, Arthur Clifton Goodwin, Ernest Lawson, Maurice Prendergast, and Guy Wiggins are all well represented."
