Saturday saw the opening of the Christchurch Art Guild summer exhibition at Priory House. I knew there was going to be a lot of exciting work on show in a wide variety of subjects and media and had been really looking forward to it. Imagine my utter surprise when I was awarded the the Brian Mead Award for this painting! My jaw hit the floor at the announcement and His Nibbs had to give me a push to go and receive the trophy.

Sadly this is the last exhibition to be held at this venue as it will be undergoing refurbishment and put to a new use. The exhibition runs until 17th August and is open from 10-5pm daily (except Sunday) so there is plenty of time to visit. It's well worth it with a gorgeous selection of artwork to view.

This is beautiful. Makes me want to go to the beach.
wow Lisa I know that feeling! congratulations on winning the trophy and very well deserved the painting is really beautiful. Do you think the organisers of this venue might be able to find another place for the annual exhibition?
Beautiful painting and congratulations of your well deserved trophy win
Good morning Lisa... A surprise to you... says humility to me... and I like that quality in artists!
The painting catches the reflective moment and solitude of the shore.
Your transparent and limited palette of blues enhances that mood. It all works.
No surprise to me that it's a "winner"... prize or not! A sparkling gem Lisa!
Continued Good Painting... and many more awards!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
