What a whirlwind! The Reflections of Nature show was even more fun than I imagined it would be. I met a lot of new people, made some new friends, and just had an incredible time!
My work was spread out over four classes in three divisions of Event 4: Painting and Drawing, and it did quite well, with every piece winning a ribbon of some sort.
Catch Up! Mallard Ducklings at the Reflections of Nature Wildlife Show, 2007.
In the Miniatures Division, Catch Up! took first and sold to a lovely couple from Calgary (the husband is a stunning wood carver, entered an amazing life-size Barn Owl).
In the Painting Division, African Dawn: Lions - the scratchboard formerly known as Dawn: African Lions - took first in it’s class (Mammals Head only). Oddly enough, I didn’t seem to take a photo of African Dawn up at the show?
Grizzly at the Reflections of Nature Show, 2007.
And Grizzly took second in it’s class (Plain Portrait).
Great-horned Owl at the Reflections of Nature Show, 2007.
In the Monochromatic Division, Great-horned Owl took first in it’s class (Bold), first in the Division, and went on to get the third Best in Show ribbon! And it sold to a wonderful couple here in Regina! I was thrilled by the win (and the sale) particularly as it was my first time at this show.
The whole experience, from the art – to the other artists, was amazing! I met a lot of really excellent people and am looking forward to being a new member of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association over the next year.
