Our CAC Gold Medal shows are always such a celebration of artist camaraderie.
Practically rebuilt from ashes by enormous efforts of Peter and Elaine Adams, the CAC - originally a group of predominantly plain-air landscape painters has recently became an effective launching pod for a formidable new generation of today’s leading figurative and serious representational artists.
Based on long and close personal friendships it is a platform for an artistic dialog that affects greatly the direction of contemporary representational art.
By the way… and what a fun we have doing it!

My "Photographer" on the wall

Ignatik, Me, Sunny - now that's a party

Ignatik is getting his well-deserved award, his exceptional nude was among my top favorites on the show

Way to go, Ignatik!

And here comes the Votan himself
Incorporable Peter - The Votan, Only Peter could pull off something like that

The Few. The Goofy. The Artists.

Congratulations, Dan! So well-deserved, So long over-due!

Smile, Dan! Dan Gogh aka Big Pink!

are you sure its not a chocolate?

not until you try

ART is definitely a sniffable substance, this is why it's HIGH!!!

V for Dan, as Dan's getting a Gold Medal is definitely a victory for all true ART! If I was not late for voting/what else is new/ Dan would have had my vote too to ensure his win, as I've heard later the running was pretty close.
