Carole Wilhelm's watercolor, "Sunset Sails" was announced the winner of the "Making Canyon Lake Memories" Art Show, a Canyon Lake Art Show held August at Sattler Artisans' Alley through Labor Day. Carol's work will be featured on the upcoming cover of the Discovery Map East Hill Country 3rd Edition anticipated in Spring of 2008. "I am delighted to have my painting chosen first place in the Discory Map Cover Contest. I am sure all the area artists are as grateful as I am to Sattler Artisans Alley for sponsoring this art show featuring the beautiful Canyon Lake area. It will be a thrill to see my painting on the cover of the 2008 East Hill Country Discover Map." stated Carol.

The show & reception was open to all Canyon Lake residents interested. Highlights of the evening included guitarist, Larry Hobson and was catered by China King. The winners were determined by judges, Pat Deltz (of New Braunfels Art League); Fred Zinkgraf, (also from New Braunfels and with The New Braunfels Christian Academy); and Richard Caniglia (formerly an art gallery owner from San Francisco and currently a resident of Blanco). Taking second place was "Devil's Playground at the Lazy L on the Guadalupe" an oil by Barbara Hine and third place honors were tied with "Vereda Real" an acrylic by Linda Jacobson and "Catfish" a watercolor by Bonnie Sue Williams. Wilhelm, Hines, and Jacobson's work is still currently on display. All pieces are priced to sell. A portion of the proceeds will benefit two local organizations: The New Life Children's Treatment Center Art Dept. and Canyon Lake Area Blue Star Moms.
