Commended Entry: Sharon Hurst<\/h6>\n

‘Purring In The Sunshine’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watercolour and pencil<\/strong><\/p>\n

15.63×12.18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artist Description:<\/p>\n

‘Soft and gentle, a moment of sheer delight and the gentle humming purr… I want to stroke his head and feel the warmth of the sunshine on his fur.’<\/p>\n

Jackson’s Judging Panel:<\/p>\n

‘Possibly the cutest entry we’ve received so far! Sharon’s wonderful watercolour is cheerful and calm – her painting perfectly captures a soft, warm light and the sleepy bliss of a snuggly cat. Her subtle yet colourful washes around the cat’s face and ears capture the velvety, fluffy feel of fur, emphasized further by the stunningly white highlights under its chin. A very delightful painting!’<\/p>\n
