He described why he selected the watercolor to win the Juror's Award. In addition, Elizabeth's painting not only received the Juror's Award, but it also was also selected by her artist peers to win the Popular Award.  Annually, Lenny and Joe's Restaurant in Madison donates the prize money for the award.  The exhibition is open to the public for the remainder of February.  It is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. .
