2012 Mortimer Prize For Realism

2012 Mortimer Prize For Realism

Thanks for all your messages about the Mortimer. Mike hasn’t put all the finalist’s images up as yet so here is a copy of the portrait called “The Form Guide”.

It’s an oil on canvas and based on a photo I took of three men at this years Young Cup. I just loved the photo and had to paint it.

It was selected as a finalist for the 2012 Mortimer Prize which one of the most prestigious competitions for traditional and contemporary realism art covering all the representational genres.

The 2012 Mortimer Prize is touring NSW and Victoria until
July next year. If you get a chance see if you can view
the exhibition – believe me it is well worth the time.
