The winning watercolor, which depicts “Planting in the Riparian Zone,” is now on exhibit at Sea Side Gallery in La Conner.

The contest, sponsored by People for Puget Sound, recognizes artwork that focuses on a Puget Sound theme, especially stewardship to save the sound. Jacobsen was among 26 artists submitting their work.

Second place was awarded to La Conner artist Ken Hansen for his sculpture, “Returning Sockeye.” Third place went to Peter Naylor of Sedro Woolley for his photograph “Candystriped Shrimp on Crimson Anemone.” An outstanding mention certificate was awarded to Coupeville artist Shirley Ashenbrenner for her mixed media piece “Party Night.”

Sea Side Gallery is at 112 Morris St., Suite A, in La Conner. The work will be on exhibit through June 15. Phone: (360) 466-5141. A portion of sale proceeds will benefit People For Puget Sound.
