Best use of colour

My painting of the little hybrid squash entitled “gourd” won the award for Best Use of Colour at the Muskoka Arts and Crafts Spring Members Show.  Very exciting!

They hung “Gourd” on the same wall with a Wendy Moses abstract (the champion of use of colour in these parts).  I feel lucky to be noticed.

By the time I got around to painting the squash it had gone bad so I think I have identified the solution to the starving artist dilemma.  Eat the food!!!
