A Major Award (or two)

My husband has received a major award.
no, it's not a leg lamp.
or a bowling alley.
it was Best in Show.
I know that might conjure up ideas of eccentric people walking dogs on a leash around an arena.

 But, it was Best of Show at the Sears Dixie Invitational Art Show, so no puppies were involved.

I'm not usually the bragging type, but I've gotta say- I'm so proud of my husband! 
The art show he won is an invitation only show, so really, it's an honor to just be invited.

And, not only did he win Best of Show, he also won the purchase prize, which means that the Sears Dixie Art Museum people liked his painting so much that they wanted to keep it forever and ever and squeeze it and love it and hold it and love it like Angelica on Rugrats.  (you remember Angelica on Rugrats, right?) (don't pretend like you don't know what i'm talking about...) 

There's only been one other time that Best of Show winner also won the Purchase Prize,
 so, yeah, I think he deserves a pat on the back. 
Or a ginormous, slobbery kiss
(from me, not a puppy)

Here is the painting that Jeremy painted for the show, isn't it beautiful?!
my niece was one of the models for this painting
