Perth Royal Show prize

I'm a little late writing about this, but my painting "Bantam Rooster" took out the Packers' Prize at this year's Perth Royal Show Agricultural Award, after winning the Wagin Woolorama Best Oil or Acrylic plus the Agricultural Award in March.

Woolorama wins!

I enjoyed great success at Wagin Woolorama this year, winning three prizes.

My studio painting Bantam Rooster took out first prize in the oil and acrylic category while my plein air painting Narpyn Cottage, winter morning was awarded second prize in the same category.

Bantam Rooster also won the Agricultural Award. This means it will now have to travel to the Perth Royal Show in September to be exhibited and judged with all other Agricultural Award winners from around the state.

The major award went to Perth artist Casss Gartner for her watercolour painting An Early Morning Walk.

Woolorama win!

Correction: The information I posted earlier was apparently incorrect. 

I've just been advised that my painting "Unndiup" has taken out the major prize at this year's Wagin Woolorama art exhibition.

This is a plein air painting of a gravel road near Torbay Inlet on the south coast. You can read a little bit about it at Unndiup: plein air landscape in oil.

I'll be at Woolorama tomorrow to check out the exhibition which has traditionally attracted some beautiful work from artists around the state.

Here I am with Natala King, coordinator of the Woolorama art exhibition.
