Ruth Soller's oil on linen painting Loveland Feed & Grain Mill won First Place in painting in the Lafayette Art Center Show. Juror Susan Lion said of this work,"Loveland Feed & Grain Mill shows a wonderful play of color, experimenting with the power of the secondary palette. Blue shadows compliment the hot tracks, rusty roof, and orange earth and its styllized clouds reflect the wavy shapes following the line of the railroad track--both an interesting turn from the tendency to make things "accurate". A strong, positive look at history without romanticizing the subject."
