Taunton Art Show Concludes - I Had Two Winners (See which ones below)!!! Hint: BEST IN SHOW!!!

The viewing of entries at the 2013 Fall Taunton Art Association's Art Show was held today from 12 Noon to 4 pm. I had four entries. Honestly, I thought I had my best chance with two entries, one called "Beacon Hill", the other "Cobble Hill Night".

 I also entered "Key West Pier" and "A Day Night Anomaly", both of which were somewhat favorites of mine. I love Key West (the place) and the pier in particular was a favorite spot of mine with plenty of color, shadows and lines.

 The "Day Night Anomaly" was one of a series of experiments I painted of scenes which generated some thought. They included a juxtaposition of day and night, winter and summer, color and lack of color, urban and non-urban.

The show had 123 entries and some really good ones. There were three judges this time who had to reach a consensus on the various entries. It's got to be a tough, although fun and interesting assignment.                                                                                                                    

I was lucky enough to win two prizes:                

BEST OVERALL - "Day Night Anomaly"

(See this painting being created in time-lapse with my video entry below of January 21, 2013)        

Second Prize Acrylic - "Cobble Hill Night" I'm happy to see the judges appreciated the creativity in the 'Day Night Anomaly' painting. I left the paintings that won at the Art Association as they will be exhibited there during November. I wasn't able to sell anything (I don't think anyone did). but perhaps I may be lucky enough to at the exhibit in November.

This was BEST IN SHOW.....
