First Prize - and a very good prize indeed

"Inner Space"

"Inner Space"
Pastel 16" X 12"

This pastel painting just won First Prize in a Capital Hill Art League juried show, and the prize is a solo show in June.
Coolest prize ever !

The source image was a photo of an antique watercolor hanging in the octagonal dining room of a friend, which was reflecting a window, the sunlight falling across the room, and more art on the other side. Art reflecting art!

The multiple levels of reality and space, and the multiple periods of time intrigued me, plus the colors were inviting.

I am very happy to say that I just bought this beautiful pastel! It is also gorgeously framed. The painting will be on view at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (www.chaw.org) until November 30. You have to see it in person to appreciate the complexity and beauty!
