Good Things Come Home -- "Winter Night On The John Day," comes home to High Desert Gallery
Good things come home! After nearly 2 months away from home, “Winter Night on the John Day” arrived home and now hangs at High Desert Gallery in Sisters Oregon. In a previous post 
we commented on Myrna's trip to the International Professional Picture Framers Association (PPFA) convention and how surprised she was when she took First Place in the Open Framing Competition with her custom picture framing entry ... “Winter Night Time on the John Day,” a painting by Paul Alan Bennett.
Jim Cornelius, Editor for the Nugget News recently met with Myrna and wrote a wonderful article on the PPFA competition process and the recent award. You can download a PDF of the article "High Desert Gallery owner Earns Framing Prize" (Download HighDesertGallery-Frame-Award-NuggetNews-02272008.pdf (112.3K)) or you can visit the Nugget News article directly at: Nugget News. Typically the news media does a great job of factually reporting stories about High Desert Gallery and the Central Oregon artists we represent. In the case of Jim's article he did an excellent job and especially the final quote from Myrna: “I didn't expect first place at all,” she said. “When they called it out, I must admit I didn't contain myself very well.”
Good things come home ... especially things that you work really hard at. Myrna has spent years perfecting her craft and trade as an art gallery director, graphic artist and professional picture framer. It is rewarding to be honored by her peers for a “good job.” Myrna ... It's OK if you didn't contain yourself. Enthusiasm in the picture framing industry is very welcome and overdue! A special “'thank you' to the numerous clients and friends that have called to congratulate Myrna.
