Yvonne Low wins art prize

December 11, 2014

Congrats to Yvonne Low, whose beautiful mixed media painting recently won the

Art on Loftus Most Outstanding - Open Award

The piece is entitled 'Water - quiet ripples catch a shaft of light.'

Judge Lyndsey Hatchwell described it as a 'lovely flowing composition with skilled use of mixed media'

Yvonne says her piece was 'inspired by the beautiful Blue Mountains - I wanted to capture the play of light on water in a valley glen. I tried some completely different techniques using acrylic and pastels alongside my favourite watercolours.

Her prize was $1,000. Congrats again Yvonne!
