The Art of Reflection Competition winners have been selected! The standard of entries and the way in which the term ‘reflections’ has been interpreted has meant the subject matter has been amazingly varied. We saw many fantastic entries and had a really tough time narrowing them down into a shortlist, from stunning seascapes to physical reflections in a mirror.
Jackson’s judging panel have chosen the first prize winner (winning £150 worth of Jackson’s vouchers) and after one week of voting, the public have chosen their 3 winners who each win £50 worth of Jackson’s vouchers. We would like to thank everyone for submitting your work and to those of you that voted for supporting and promoting the artists that entered!
First Prize Winner of £150 worth of Jackson’s Art Gift Vouchers
Title: ‘Low Tide’
Artist: Cathy Veale
Watercolour. 65 cm x 85 cm.
People’s Choice Winner of £50 worth of Jackson’s Art Gift Vouchers
Title: ‘Up Periscope!’
Artist: Lynn Howarth
‘This is a soft pastel using Unison soft pastels on PastelMat paper. I have lots of friends who are open water swimmers and this pastel is of my friend Karen up at Loch Lomond. I loved the intense colours of the reflections of her hat and goggles in the water, and the soft focus background. Size is 40x30cm’
People’s Choice Winner of £50 worth of Jackson’s Art Gift Vouchers
Title: ‘Frosty river bank’
Artist: Andrew Barrowman
‘Oil on board 60cm x 60cm – A walk along the River Cober, Helston on a very frosty morning revealed these lovely reflections of the icey riverbank in the slow moving water. I painted this in oils using several glazes over my thinly applied underpainting.’

Congratulations to all the winners! There were wonderful Reflections in so many of the entries. I don’t do Facebook and was not able to vote. Perhaps you would consider accepting email voting?
Hi Dorothy,
Thank you for your message, it was such a hard decision picking the overall winner as there were so many amazing entries! We are looking into other companies that host and manage competitions as we speak which do not require a Facebook login. If we find one that can provide us with all the things we need then we will make the switch, however at the moment this is the only way (with our current host) that we can ensure a fair vote. Many thanks 🙂

Amazing entries. Very difficult for the judges I would
imagine. Congratulations to all the entrants.
