Local Artist Wins First Place Award at Regional Art Competition
   Diane Wolf-Latham, owner of SpiritSage Studios (Pomeroy), received the First Place prize for oil painting at the Northwest Heritage Art Show on June 10, 2007. Her winning painting is titled “Montana Mountains” and features a mountain scene in hues of browns and golds. Ms. Wolf-Latham entered two other oil paintings, “Autumn Bugle” of a bull elk and “June Bloom” of an iris, in the annual juried art show. The fine art show and sale is held each June in the Lewis & Clarks Valley.
