Congratulations to Nancy Ausdahl, who won this linoleum print in a free raffle I held at the Sunnyslope Artwalk April 18th! Nancy proudly lives in the Sunnyslope area.
The lino-cut image is based on a cherub water fountain statue in the 
backyard of Andrew Mellon's former home (of Carnegie-Mellon University, and Mellon Bank/Financial) in Pittsburgh. The grounds of the Mellon estate were designed in the 1930s, and are now maintained as part of an arboretum. The mansion is now an administrative building for the all-women's Chatham College. It still houses America's very first indoor swimming pool in America in the basement, which I swam in several times. :)

LOL, just received an e-mail from someone who purchased this at a Goodwill. So much for raffling off artwork. At least it's in someone's home and being appreciated now. Thank you Adriana! :)
