Yesterday, Congressman John Yarmuth’s office announced the winners of his Congressional Art Competition. Mary-Kathryn Smith of Assumption High School was the top pick.
Here’s a look at “Fear at Night” by Smith, an oil painting:


“This competition is about cultivating a love of art and encouraging young people to get involved in creative endeavors,” Yarmuth said. “I am proud to take Mary-Kathryn’s painting to Washington, where it will not only represent her accomplishments, but everything young artists in Louisville are capable of and the unique qualities of our city’s arts scene: history, promise, creativity, and engagement.”
See the other winners after the jump…

Best Use of Color: “Natural Solitude” – Diana Pickett, Pleasure Ridge Park High School

What talented young people we have! It is a shame that they will probably have to leave Louisville to have a decent future….

Yep. It’s at no cost and mostly Republicans like Geoff Davis take part.

Title of that first painting should be “Shoot. Where Did I Put That Chamber Pot?“
