Anne's 100th Birthday! "Tea with Anne"

Happy 100th Birthday to Anne Heilman! Anne was the subject of my award-winning painting "Tea with Anne." The painting won the Casey Memorial Award at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club's 2008 Annual Open Exhibition (held at the National Arts Club in NYC) plus also was a finalist in Raymar's Annual Art Competition.

There was a tea party in her honor today. 

I regularly get notes of encouragement from Anne regarding my art. She's looking forward to seeing it hanging in a museum ... and indicates it would be a good idea to hurry up. Leading up to her 100th birthday, she signed it Anne at 99 and 11/12s.
