A Year That Came To An End

I thought I would write one last post as a finale to our one year of 100 washes.

So many people view this blog and our followers are still accumulating daily, which only reiterates the quality and diversity of our work and my fellow 'Washing Girls' willingness and ability to share their love of watercolour. I personally miss the interaction from Olivia, Theresa, Jane, Christy, Vandy and Suzanne.

I know I speak for all of my 'washing girls' who participated in this blog….. when I say one last big thanks to our many followers who have left encouraging comments over the year. 

I hope everyone has been inspired in some little way by our washes, words and enthusiasm.... and that you have the courage of letting your pigment and water guide your brush.

Greeting Cards

Anamaria e-mailed me and said we had made her day when her name was randomly selected as the winner of a set of greeting cards showcasing some of our washes from our year of washes!

Having been given the option of either the overall winning paintings from everyone’s votes or the images she herself selected when she voted in December, she opted for her personal group of paintings for her greeting cards.

Below are her personal selections, which differ slightly from the overall voted winning images.

We have a Winner!

Anamaria’s name has been pulled randomly out of the hat as the winner of a set of fourteen greeting cards.  Anamaria please e-mail me with your full name and address. I will get the cards out to you by mid February.

I tallied up the votes of your favourite washes/wash paintings from our year of work on this blog and was shocked to see such an across–the-board array of choices. In most cases there were no really out and out clear winners. Some of the paintings were placed as winners by only one vote. It was a difficult task to sort through the votes and to the best of my knowledge I have added up the votes correctly.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the voting, congratulations to Anamaria, and a huge thank you for the continued support from those of you who have followed our world of washes and left encouraging comments along the way.

May all your watercolour-painting dreams come true for 2012…

Maggie, (January 2012)
