The Prize Winners featured in Part Two include:
The Dry Red Press Award
Bess Harding
Stolen Stem X
A single stem, stolen from a neighbour's garden, taken out of its natural environment only to be unceremoniously taped to a wall and painted. A delicacy, transience and beauty captured in what the viewer knows will be its last few moments of life.
The Michael Harding Award (I)
Chris Aggs RBA
Apple Blossom
The Michael Harding Award (II)
Anthony Yates RBA
Succulent Night
The Gordon Hulson Memorial Prize
Daisy Sims-Hilditch
Studio Contre-Jour
Painted in Oils, this little picture is of my "painting table". I love how the light bounced off the surfaces of mirrors and bottles of turpentine as well as the contrast between light and dark creating interesting shapes. I squinted a lot whilst painting this to saturate the values of light and dark which I hope creates an interesting piece.
The Peter Kelly Commemorative Prize
Stuart Robertson
Notre Dame de Paris
Painted in the studio in watercolour and some gouache with elements of collage.
The Patron's Prize
Jon Pryke RBA
Wheeling Moon
