This work placed a blue ribbon in a show, it is one of my favorite works. This was the begining to my abstract paintings. Copyright by Nancy Costley. Not to be used without permission.
I can see why this took the blue ribbon Nancy!! This faery painting is excellent! I love the textures you have achieved in this, and the colors give the image a very surreal feel!! Excellent work!!! ~S
This one i love too - I can see why it is your favourite - In this there is passion and I love the textures, use of colour and would love to see more of these!
I missed this yesterday nancy, and congrats on the ribbon! I think the texture and the movement along with the violet colour makes this a treat for the senses... lovely painting : ) PS ...if your selling the original painting for 280 then im miffed... triple the price, for size and ribbon history...theres a bit of a van gogh appeal in this work... hugs...
