Best Other Media / 3D
Winner
no 49 “Flower Dance”

Lovely use of colour which created an interesting look. The accidental tube of paint was an added bonus.
Highly Commended

Pastel soft colours and shapes make this a pleasing piece to be hung and admired
Best Acrylic
Winner
no 69 “Tranquil Place”

Very Monet approach and the soft touch is a bonus to this piece. Dark foreground adds to the yellowish tinges on both sides which takes the viewer up and inside the water.
Highly Commended
no 80 “Stable Sunrise”
by Wendy Swan
Excellent use of light and dark with the subject almost alive. The balance is well handled and composed.
Best Pastel / Drawing
