The 29th Annual Ottawa Orchid Society Show and Sale, held on April 24 – 25, was an incredible success for my two new entries in this art juried show!
This year the Orchid Society had a challenge/contest on one specific type of wild orchid, the Showy Lady’s Slipper, which grows in the Lanark, ON area. I enter this challenge with “Slippers in the Woods” a multimedia piece of three pink/white orchids surrounded by flowing ferns. To my delight it won the second prize in the contest!
I also enter the show in the fine art’s category with another multimedia piece called “Ladies”, representing three yellow/red Lady’s Slippers growing amides cascading ivy and flowing ferns. These two pieces are a new direction in my ever-growing life as an artist. To my surprise “Ladies” won not only the first prize in multimedia but also the Best in Class of all fine arts presented in this show!
