I was thrilled to learn that on August 1, 2017 two of my art pieces were juried into the Light Space and Time 7th Annual “Botanicals” Art Competition. “Painted Queen” received a Special Merritt award and “Scream for Peace” received a Special Recognition Award. The Botanicals Art Competition received 720 entries from 17 different countries from around the world. It is such an honor to have two of my art pieces receive recognition!.
Light Space and Time 7th Annual “Botanicals” Art Competition Special Merritt winner “Painted Queen”
This image started out as a photo of a white night blooming cereus cactus. I thought the flower was a little flat so I added some pink to the white petals to give the image more punch.
Light Space and Time 7th Annual “Botanicals” Art Competition Special Merritt winner “Screaming Peace”
“Screaming Peace” began as a photo of a Peace rose. Next I added several layers of colors and textures. Then I distorted the rose to make it look like the center of the rose was screaming. I wish we all could all scream for peace in this world then maybe it would happen. If only it was that easy.
