Neil Allen wins the title "BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year
2009" with his painting "Bee orchid", and a place on
Wildlife Worldwide´s Festival of Wildlife 2010 in the
Pantanal, Brazil,.
Here´s what the judges said: "Inmaculately
observed and painted, this intimate study is much more
than a simple copy of nature. Though focusing on a very
small patch of grass, this has a wonderful sense of
light and space. It entices you to look into the scene,
to explore the spaces between the tangle of stems and to
move through it as if you were and insect. The sensitive
treatment highlights the fact that you do not have to
travel to exotic places to find spectacular wildlife ,
it is all around you if you just care to look. A worthy
winner." |
