I am happy to share that three of my works have been included, and one of the submitted works, “Christine”, has been awarded an Honorable Mention by Max Ginsburg in Mills Pond Gallery’s “Contemporary Realism” exhibition, September 12 - October 17, 2020. Ginsburg said about my painting, “Another head study Christine by Charis J Carmichael Braun has so much personality in the face and I really thought it was beautiful.” Sixty-eight works in a broad range of representational styles display interpretations of realism seen through the lens of 46 contemporary artists in various subjects from landscape, urban views, interiors, still life, and portraiture.
