At Creative Brush Studio, many artists were displaying and working on art in progress and it was the last day to vote for the Best of the Region 4 People's Choice and Artist's Choice awards to be announced on Saturday, November 5.

And announced LIVE it was on Saturday, via a live link by Christine! Drum roll please...
 
Our own Andrea Castanada of the Prince William Art Society (PWAS) and the Manassas Art Guild (MAG) was voted as the Artist's Choice award! Her painting of "Snow White" which is oil on Plexiglass and Abalone Leaf was chosen be all of the artists entered in the Best of the Region - so an award by your peers is looking very good on the resume!
