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".
WOW!! GORGEOUS WATERCOLOR, NANCY -- CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AWARD!! WELL DESERVED!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Nancy! This is just fantastic and the award is well-deserved.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nancy!!!!! You're watercolor looks beautiful! The colors are so sharp and the black is such a nice contrast with the large white matte. You should be very proud!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Nancy! That's one nice painting - the prize was well deserved.
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolour is really beautiful and number one in my book :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! This is lovely, and I've been looking at lilies to add to my garden lately. They're so fragrant and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jafabrit and Cynthia. I remember these Lilies were fragrant. The always remind me of spring.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your beautiful watercolor is an inspiration for me. I need to get busy creating for our annual Lily Festival at a local gallery. And thanks for visiting my blog. I'll be back here again.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This is one outstanding beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nancy! A well deserved award...I love the painting, it is exquisite. Well done.

Oh, this is quite beautiful! Such a well deserved award, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
Congratulations Nancy! Definitely well-deserved, it's a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS. 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.
