MY PAINTING HAS WON AN AWARD!
It is always exciting to create a new piece, but when it wins an award it becomes even more special! Every year the St Augustine Art Association has a two-month exhibit called "FANTASTIC FLORIDA" which features artwork centered on our state. The artwork can be 2 or 3-D, of flora, fauna, history, sites, people, anything that highlights our state. It is popular and highly competitive. Each is allowed to enter 2 pieces that must be juried into the show. This year, I decided to focus on the sea and the swamp. My first was a view "OVER THE DUNES" to a morning sunrise. The colors are mainly blue-gray and golds and measures 24 x 36. It seemed to be very popular as I watched people viewing the display of art. However, it is not the piece that won the award.
