The image of  my oil painting, "branches" (2007), was chosen to be featured on the pillars leading into the Arts Pavillion at the July 2009 Indiana Black Expo in Indianapolis !!!!!  This is obviously quite an honor for me !!  Thanks to Coleen Heeter in charge of the Arts and Culture portion of the Expo.
