Your Eyes to the World of Soft Pastel Art
Cecilia Watson won the Gallery Director’s award
Cecilia Watson "Shy Boy"
You might remember Cecilia Watson from Spain, who has already been presented on this blog as a Get Dusty winner. Cecilia won the Gallery Director’s award this time at the Infinity Art Gallery Summer 2010 show. Here are the comments from the juror Julie Weismann:
Shy Boy, is beautifully composed.
Watson masterfully conveys the title of
this piece through this little guy’s eyes
and expression. I can feel myself
squatting down attempting to coax
him out from behind those safe legs.
The other pastel art that was accepted in the finals was by Sabina Haas, Switzerland, who you have also seen on this blog several times.
