Excited for BEST IN SHOW !!!

You never know when it's going to happen, but you just need to keep putting your artwork out there! So blessed and excited that my encaustic wax and mixed media painting, "Apothecary Green", won BEST  IN  SHOW at the Broward Art Guild Small Works Exhibit in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Opening night was Dec 7 and the show runs through Dec 27. The winning entry is part of a quad of paintings. Here are the pics...

"Apothecary Green" includes ephemera from Chinese Medicine boxes, 

an open unbleached tea bag, and 'pills' made of compressed paper.

Best In Show ribbon! Paintings are, clockwise, "Apothecary Green", 

"Apothecary Ruby", "Apothecary Orange", and "Apothecary Violet".

I hope you'll take time this holiday season to support the local artists in your area and buy original artwork to add to your collection or to gift to someone you love. This is the best time of year to become a "Collector" even if you haven't bought before. Just go with your gut and buy what pleases you in the moment.

Happy Arting!  ;)  Tristina
