Elayne's painting "He Gave Her Blue Flowers" has been juried into the Greenhouse Gallery Salon International 2010 Juried Competition and Exhibition. 

Jim Janes, Founder and Executive Director of Greenhouse Gallery of Fine Arts wrote an email to all of the entrants of the competition thanking those who submitted entries.  He said, Entrants of "The Salon International 2010 are to be commended for their part in creating the largest number of entries submitted in any single year in the nine-year history of the event - almost 1,300 entries!"

"You are also be commended for creating the strongest group of entries in the history of the event.  Of course, this creates a much more difficult task for the Jury and Judge, but that's a good thing!  Because of the strength of the entries the Salon International 2010 exhibit will be the largest ever - almost 400 paintings!  This exhibit will be truly spectacular.  I promise you it will be a visual overload!"
