Note to my readers: Regulars at The Colorist already know about my new award, but since I only snuck the news in as a photo caption I now have to provide this formal release to appease the self promotion troll. Thanks for your forbearance!

Nice photo. Congratulations, again! Definitely deserves its own mention.
The Sausalito Art Festival is busy telling me what I already know: Casey Klahn has the art world version of a fine fist.
They keep saying it over and over, like a disturbed person would.
I wish they'd tell me something I don't know. Is he a terrific ballroom dancer? Can he hit a curve ball? Does he snore? Has he ever come in second in a pie-eating contest?
Well derserved!
Nice! Congrats to you!!
Congratulations! I was no one moment surprised.
Fantastic Casey!
Congratulations, Casey! Much deserved.
Casey,
i don't think that I have congratulated you yet. So Congratulations! This award is well deserved!!
I have loved your paintings from the first time i saw one and am honored to be following you. I have really learned a lot from you on this pastel journey and for that I thank you!
Sara
Congratulations on a well deserved award. So glad it ended on a high note.
Hey Casey, congrats! Looks like you had a great summer - love your work. Jen
Congratulations, again, to both you and your self promotion troll. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with one of those...
-Don
Thanks to all. I linked you on the net post.
Brian (Sippican), that is funny. Maybe I can take my art to the Garden someday. And, as for your questions. No, no, yes and no.
Don - wish I were bigger than the troll, but I'm not. He always gets me...
Jean - my wife is the photo talent. I'm just the artist.
Hi Casey. I was looking at Kathy's blog and saw you there. I realized I hadn't rejoined your blog after blowing up my last one. Boy am I glad I stopped back by! What a true honor you've received!
Your artistry and talent is amazing. You exude positive energy.
Keep on keeping on. And sorry I've been away.
Whoa! First Place--wellllll I am not really surprised..you deserve it!
PAMO and Celeste - thanks very much. Celeste, I was surprised. What will I do next year? I have ideas.
Casey,
I have been away for a long time it seems....and just when I come back to check on what you are up to, I see First Place at the Sausalito Art Festival! Of course, it is of no surprise to me---you work is superb! Three of my siblings live in Mill Valley--I wish I was there to see it.
Sally
Hi, Sally.
Mill Valley! That's pretty much the same exit ramp, if I remember right. I had a show there once at the Barefoot Gallery.
Send your three sibs by next labor Day (and maybe yourself!) since I will be there next year.
Congratulations, Casey! Very well deserved recognition.
Thank you, Harry!
I am a bit late, but casey what a wonderful thing to read, congratulations.
Thanks, Corrine. You are not late, just timely in another fashion.
