Splendor

Blue Ribbon Award Winner #1

It's NJ State Fair time again, dear readers, and that means a little self-indulgent fun is on the table.  Once again, the judges liked my work and after submitting eight cards, I was rewarded with eight blue ribbons . . .

Throughout September, I will post all eight of the cards I submitted, starting with this one, entitled "Splendor" . . .

I don't know how much the camera will pick up, but the sea fans and the fish are all about shimmering silver and plenty of sparkle.  The background was done with blue and green color washes which turned out wonderfully oceanic, I thought . . .
