Highly Commended at Blacktown City Art Prize

This is a picture of my painting: 'Sydney winter flowers', that won a Highly Commended, in the watercolour section of the Blacktown City Art Prize 2012.

The certificate came in this morning's post.  I had no idea so a lovely surprise.

The show is on at the Blacktown arts centre until 10 November.

Blacktown City Art Prize

 'Dog day afternoon' - highly commended.  Yay!

Being a newbie to Art prizes, I was surprised at how well presented and at the calibre of works on show at the Blacktown City Art Prize.  I had received a call on the Friday afternoon to ensure I was attending.  I was planning to go and have a look but was starting to go off the idea with the thought of Friday afternoon Sydney traffic which turns most of the motorways and all roads west, into a car park.

Him indoors took me on the motorbike.  We made it there in under an hour.

I got a highly commended award for watercolour of which I am well chuffed!
