ART PRIZE WIN

Last night at the annual Meandering Art Prize, I was fortunate enough to win the Heritage Award with a coloured pencil painting of  the view through a decaying shed at the historical property Cheshunt.

Beyond Cheshunt – Polychromos and prismacolor pencils on pastel board, 80 x 060 cm (unframed)

Judges’ comments:  Clever composition with layers of heritage, both manmade and natural. Technically very competent. Frame within a frame concept draws the viewer into the layers. Play of light and shadows gives interest and depth.
