No. 705 Sky Lit Hydrangeas and 1st place winner!!!

 

 

Sky Lit Hydrangeas

Oil on Linen Panel

8" x 10"

 

Dennis Perrin typically paints under a skylight with a northern exposure. The only place where I could find a similar situation was in my bathroom. You should've seen the look on my husbands face when he walked in on me painting hydrangeas in our bathroom (oh no! she's taken over ANOTHER room in the house!) It was a bit uncomfortable in there so I'm not sure I'll try it again. I did like the way the painting turned out.

 

On a much more exciting note, my painting Perrin Rose #3 won 1st place in Gallery North's Small Works show!! How supremely cool is that? A huge, huge thank you to the judge Robin Weiss and to Gallery North for this amazing honor.

Grapes in Silver

Oil on Gessobord

I am sharing this painting again because I'm very proud and excited to announce that it won first place in Gallery North's Small Works show! I've won honorable mentions before, even a couple of second places but this is my very first 1st place. Can you tell I'm kind of over the moon about it? I was told it competed against 250 other paintings to receive this honor.

 

The Small Works show will run through the month of April if you would like to check it out. The address is 401 Main St, Edmonds, WA 98020. Edmonds in a great little seaside town full of cute  shops, cafes and galleries. Well worth a visit for it's own sake.
