Awesome work.

NEWS JUST IN...
We have just learnt that artist Lucy Culliton has won the Sulman Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW with her painting titled 'Toolah'.

Lucy has been a guest judge here at the Raglan for our annual art comps in years gone by. Her skills and eye are incredible. This is a gorgeous painting and a well deserved win.
Congratulations Lucy.

Comments from the judge:
The judge was Del Kathryn Barton, and she was pretty effusive about it. She said: "This is a painting by Lucy at the peak of her powers. Pictorially ambitious and technically consummate, it generously offers audiences a tender moment of gorgeousness from Lucy's life. Just wow!"

Among the chorus of autumn colours, the paint brushes are at work. There's a chilled breeze that feels like it's blowing straight from the Snowy Mountains but the artists are rugged up and busy creating their inspired works along the Bombala River for the Bombala Art Prize.

Good luck to all of the participants! Please feel free to tag your art page if we captured you in a picture.
