Award Winning Painter and Customer - Carol Thompson

The other day we were perusing our latest issue of "Artists' Magazine" where we read that  Carol Thompson received honorable mention in their 28th annual art competition in the animal category.  We contacted Carol to congratulate her and discovered that she had won three more finalist awards from the Art Renewal Center.  Decidedly so, Carol is quite proud of this achievement since only one other artist in the country received this honor in three categories. We've included images of her paintings that won these prestigious awards.
Carol Thompson's oil painting"What Got Me Here" won a finalist award in the landscape category.
Carol Thompson's " Waiting for a Friend" oil painting won a finalist award in the animal category.
And the third finalist award for Carol Thompson was in the still life category for "Woven Heritage"

Artistic Freedom Discovered in Pennsylvania

Frank Morgan's house with outdoor gallery in Wrightsville, PA. Archival Arts client Frank Morgan has found freedom of expression in the Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania. He utilizes an unusual method of presenting his artwork to the public 24-hours-a-day. The exterior of his house is his gallery. In the three years that Morgan has been residing in Wrightsville, PA (located between York and Lancaster) the artist has been painstakingly creating his outdoor gallery by adorning his home with giclée prints of his paintings. “You can see them at night from across the river,” says the artist of his ever growing display.  The large piece hung near the top of the house, called “Madonna and Child,” is illuminated by a brilliant light at night and offers dramatic scenery for the 10,000-15,000 cars that pass by each day.
