Art was always something Wood River Valley native Abby Armstrong wanted to do in her free time, something to relax her. Now, one of her watercolor paintings will hang for a year in the U.S. Capitol.

Armstrong recently returned from being recognized for her talents. 

“This was the first painting I did for myself, and it took me three months to finish,” Armstrong said of her work, titled “Marble Fox.” “I used a photograph for inspiration, but it’s all watercolor, no sketching or pencils.”
