Sydney Royal Easter Show Art & Craft 2015

 I was very excited to enter artworks again for the fifth year in the Sydney Royal Easter Show Art Show. I entered in 4 categories this year which proved a great success. I entered this artwork above, titled 'Popi', in the Digital Art Vector Section and was so excited on opening night to find out I received a ribbon for 3rd Prize!!!! The Opening night was on my birthday and that's when I saw this amazing Sydney Royal Easter Show ribbon on my artwork. I was happy to find out it SOLD as well. I've loved entering this exhibition and this year was definitely extra special.
 I entered a framed photograph in the Photography section, above, titled 'Rust' of a rusty windmill at my house.
 I was very happy this SOLD as well.

The two paintings above were entered in different categories. The painting on top is painted with watercolour paint and gold leaf. It's titled 'Rainforest Treasures' and was entered in the Australian Native Flowers section. 
The painting on the bottom was painted with acrylic paint on pine board and was entered in the Rural section. I live near properties that have cattle and this cow in particular caught my eye on many mornings as I drove past. It is a breed that is crossed between an Australian Friesan and a Pakistani Sahiwal. It intrigued me how the colourings look like the cow was either dip dyed or had been under a rain cloud and the colour ran. They are always surrounded by beautiful birds called Egrets. I have these paintings back home with me and will find their way to another exhibition no doubt.
