REFLECTIONS by Cyd Rust wins Award

Reflections
9" x 12"
Acrylic on Canvas Panel

Reflections was awarded Third Place by Juror Don Vogl at the 2009 AANC Celebration of Color Members Show. This was doubly exciting to me as it was the first show I have participated in that was held at my newest gallery. I am very proud of this painting. I didn't use an iota of black in the background, nor did I use any orange. The absence of a commercial black was of course on purpose, as I prefer to mix my darks. The absence of the orange...well, I'll fess up. I hadn't replenished my stock, and I wanted to PAINT! LOL.

Celebration of Color runs through May 12, 2009
at Art On Mountain Fine Art Gallery
102 West Mountain Ave,
Fort Collins CO 80524
