PENDLETON — Gallery 119 announced the winners of its Christmas in Pendleton Art Show on Friday, Nov. 5.
Tamara Magers won first place (and a $75 prize) for her oil painting “Coastal Road.”
Bruce Neckar’s prisma, oil and rag piece, titled “Best Friend,” took second (and $40); Diane Burrell earned third place (and $30) for her acrylic work “A Great Day At Falls Park.”
