"This challenge was set to produce a cushion inspired by an artist or a work of art. As I love blue and the sea, I chose a woodcut by the Japanese artist Hokusai (published between 1829-32)". This won 2nd prize.

Michele Boyd - Small Boats of Regatta 

Picture
"As I sail a lot in the Lake District and I love colopur, I used Paul Klee'spainted scenes of boats in a regatta as my inspiration. 3rd prize winner

Jacky Hooton - Tree and Landscape

Picture
Inspiration came from the waterclour landscapes of Yorkshire by David Hockney. My interpretation is bsed on photographs of Cheshire where I live showing a sandstone cottage and the black and white railings in our rural landscape. Awarded Judges Merit
