I received my
Winsor & Newton Award from the Woman’s Art Club of Cincinnati in the mail.

The palette closed. |
|
The palette open - paints are in a drawer that slides out. |
It’s much
heavier than it looks! I will probably
not use the palette, but will certainly use the paints. I have used Daniel Smith paints for years,
but will give these W&N colors a good try in an upcoming painting.
Colors included
are transparent yellow, Winsor yellow, scarlet lake, alizarin crimson, Winsor
green (blue shade), cobalt blue, Winsor blue (green shade) yellow ochre, burnt
sienna, burnt umber, raw umber and lamp black.
As you know, I
don’t use black, but will try to find a way to incorporate it into a painting,
since it’s here!
Also included
with my award was a short letter from the Club’s president. In it, she told me: “The judge was captivated by your perspective
and amazing detail.”

It’s always
nice to know the reasoning behind an award, but you don’t always have the
opportunity to hear it, so I appreciated her note.
