Hellebore Orientalis, "First Place" Honors Linda C. Miller

Jean Walker Award

First Place

Annual Member Exhibition

This Century Art Gallery

Exhibited: June, 2010

"In 2010 after many brush strokes for the last two years and four botanical workshops with Juliet Kirby and one of my favorite teachers Lara Call Gastinger, I entered my first juried exhibition at my local art center here in Williamsburg.   I will never forget the moment when my husband and I walked in the door and turned right into the first gallery.   One, there was my work - two, there was a ribbon and three, it was for my work.  I, who truly don't like crowds, went that evening without a knowing and so glad.  To the paint angels who stop by my studio, thank you ever so much!"

This is a large piece, 18 inches wide by 22 inches high.  It shows all the wonderful stages of the flower developing into its fruit.  I created the original drawing in 2008 and worked from a live cutting taken from the same specimen that spring.
