Painting Wins Holbrook Award

“Sparkling Light – Nottingham Riverside Festival”, a painting that I have been working on for the last couple of months, has just been awarded the Holbrook Trust first prize at the Nottingham society of Artists autumn exhibition. The development of the painting, which depicts the dragon boat racing from the Nottingham Riverside Festival, can be tracked on my painting blog The Filbert and Rigger. . Naturally, I also framed the picture and after toying with the idea of a hand-gilded frame I eventually opted for a modern chunky moulding in a pewter finish with a white slip.
