I was very pleased to read the news that I'd taken out second prize in Australian Artist Magazine's "Seascapes, Rivers & Lakes" Art Prize Challenge No. 52, with my entry "South Coastal".
My painting depicts a location near Denmark, on the south coast of Western Australia. I told the story of it back in February, this year, as part of my Evolution of a Seascape series of articles.
While the location is real and the painting is true to the place, there were quite a lot of design decisions employed to make it something more than "just like a photo".
Winners and finalists are featured in the June, 2013 edition of Australian Artist Magazine.
Congratulations to first-place getter Jayne Henderson from Victoria, third-place getter Craig Addley from Queenlsand and to all the finalists.

I have to admit when i first saw this painting i found this work menacing/playful because of the way the internal dynamic of the Egyptian motifs seems very disturbing in light of the remarkable handling of ljght.

Thanks. And since you're my brother, just the fact you might want to buy it would make it more expensive :)
