Honorable Mention


I was the proud recipient of an Honorable Mention award at our local Art Association's 17th Annual Spring Show. This show was filled with exceptionally good art and our judge, Ned Mueller had to have a tough time choosing Best of Show.
This entry, White Lilies, is a small watercolor measuring only 6" x 6", double matted with a 5" wide border. The frame is metal with a slight lavendar color to it, and measures 16" x 16".

  5. Thank you Lin, Jana, Suzanne and Joe. I've always liked white flowers with a black background .. I've done a number of them, I think the white with the black really makes it pop. The large frame etc was really just a result of using what I had on hand that was square. Thanks all for your comments.

  12. Oh, this is quite beautiful! Such a well deserved award, too!

    Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting -- I've just loved looking over your blog. I remember your tulip fields photo and bus painting -- I thought I'd "bloglined" you then, but I guess I hadn't. I'm going to fix that now, so I can keep up with your awesome work!

  14. CONGRATS. Beautiful painting. The black background makes the piece look really modern. Would look great as some sort of textile pattern, painted on silk or something.
