How absolutely fabulous to receive First Place in an International Nature Art Competition.

My oil painting of a Tasmanian Green Rosella called “Macca” Jury Judged – First Place amongst hundreds of entries.

Thank you US based Gallery4Percent and the panel of judges for selecting my artwork as the overall winner.

I couldn’t do what I do without the support of the amazing photographers who graciously provide me with endless inspiration. Huge thank you to Janelle Walker of Pixelperrrrfectphotography for providing the image of a male Tasmanian Green Rosella used as inspiration to create an award winning oil painting called “Macca”.

Painted in oils “Waratah” Awarded 2nd Place in international Wildlife competition held by International Artist Magazine USA.

It is always a great honour and validating to receive an award, particularly when the artwork is jury judged against incredible competition.

“Waratah” is an oil painting depicting a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets sitting on one of Australia’s most iconic flowers, the floral emblem for New South Wales.

Acknowledgement to photographer David C. Simon for graciously providing the reference photo used as inspiration for this oil painting.
