Prize Value

Best Painting in the Show (Acquisitive)

'Blairgowrie' by Craig Davy

 

 

"A highly stylised but evocative view of Bridgewater Bay, Sorrento, sensitive and subtle use of colour."

$5,000

Best Oil Painting


'Collins St. Winter' by Chris White

 

 

"A strong composition, a lesson in perspective with an extraordinary technical skill.  A pleasing balance of warm and cool colours."

  $750

Best Pastel/Acrylic Painting


'Female Figure Study 7' by Linda Robertson

 

 

"The picture strikes a balance between modelling form and energetic rhythmical line."

$750

Best Watercolour Painting



'A day at the Beach' by Malcolm Beattie

 

 

"Light and movement in simple clean washes – the charm of watercolour."

$750

Best Contemporary Painting, any medium


'Valley View' by Dan Villiers

 

 

"While this painting obviously displays spatial recession, it has strongly decorative and two dimensional qualities – a high horizon and flat pattern-like mark making and rich colour harmonies."

$500

Best Painting to the value of $1000, any medium


'Foraging Bee No.2' by Debra Lee Waters

 

 

"Illusionistic realism - there is exquisite detail in this difficult, one-way medium."

$500

Best Painting to the value of $800, any medium


'Bicheno Bay' by Pamela Pretty

 

 

"A rich, loose and free rendering in pastel allowing the process and medium to jostle and spar with the subject matter."

$500

Best Painting to the value of $700, any medium


'Wallander' by Anne Wallace

 

 

"An ambitious undertaking handled with great skill to achieve a penetrating and unified portrait."

$500
