Announcing the Contest Winner!

Picture
Congratulations to the winner of this contest, Phyllis Harris!! You will receive a copy of this card in the mail in a few days. Blank on the inside. Back has text shown on bottom - minus the copyright notice, which I forgot until after I printed it. You can tell eveyone I said so, Phyllis. I'm sure they're interested. ;) The picture is actually printed upside down, not how it's shown to allow for it being center folded. Ya-a-a-ay, Phyllis! I hope you'll like it. Thank you for your contribution to helping me get the final version of this finished. I listened to your opinion. I needed another set of eyes to take a fresh look at it and you very nicely responded. And it won Second Prize at the Fine Art America contest yesterday, June 3, 2013. So now you can tell that to whomever you'd like, too. Maybe that's a little more interesting. Let's hope so. :))

Here's the info on the contest where it won the prize.

Earlier This Year

This contest was announced in April on my Facebook page.
This is what people who came here from my Facebook page saw:

7) This and the next one were added a day later. I think I like this the best. It's always good to look away for awhile. I took out the rainbow colors in the shamrock. I seemed too busy this AM with the rainbow in it in addition to being in the dragon's belly. I always see the overall appearance better when I break for a day or more and get a fresh look.

Vote for Fresco By September 8

9/5/2012

The Troy, NY Bella Vita Fresco voting is now open to email votes. Please vote! For anyone wishing to vote, you can email your vote to Andrea Daley at diyrestoreit@gmail.com. You can only vote once.
Here’s the info on my Fresco in downtown Troy.

Joyce Jackson -Fresco #14

Email your vote by September 8th with the following information:

Fresco #:
Your name:
Email address:
Phone #:

Indicate whether you would like to get emails on the Bell Vita Fresco Project.

Please forward this blog post URL to all your friends & family and ask them
to vote. I didn’t do much about getting votes early on. Troy is so far from me, it was difficult and very tiring to continue driving there. I didn’t go there to solicit votes, which other artists who live closer were able to do. Maybe this will boost my numbers a little, up from zero anyway. LOL These contests are never fair, but a good effort was made to make this one fair.
See my early test version here:

http://www.artbyjoycejackson.com/bella-vita.html
Here’s my finished version. The person who took the photo cropped off the entire left side, so it’s hidden. I think it looked better before she cropped it. If
I’d been asked permission, I would have said no, don’t crop it. Also it looks
more faded than it actually is. It really looks a lot better in real life, but this will have to do.

To see more, find out more about the Bella Vita project, Troy, NY. If you want to see mine in person, last I knew it was at Kayla’s Kitchen 39 Hill St., Troy, NY.
Thanks for voting!

Bella Vita Frescos Being Created

5/9/2012

Here's a video of us artists creating our frescos as participants in the Bella Vita project in Troy, NY, on May 5, 2012. Details in my 2 earlier posts. A peek at just some of the amazing artwork at various stages as it's being created.  I'm the one with the Italian T-shirt, in about 1 minute.

Cartoon Shows Values

Italian Coast Castle Fresco Cartoon
Pencil on paper. 18" x 24"
This was such a tremendous amount of work, I can't leave it out. The drawing known as the "cartoon" was an integral part of the success of the finished fresco.
