This painting won 2nd place in the American Impressionist Society's 23rd Annual Juried Exhibition in Boulder, CO. "While I was on a 6-week European painting trip a few years back, I absolutely fell in love with Avignon, France. Jean Stern had suggested I add it to my itinerary and I spent an entire week there. This is a studio piece, but my time spent there painting on location is visible in the colors of warm reflected light.⁠"
