Anna Koot "I See You" Paint Ontario 2015 Wildlife Award
Anna Koot “I See You” Paint Ontario 2015 Wildlife Award
Comment by Hay’s spokesperson: This encaustic painting of small birds is a pleasure to look at. We returned to it repeatedly when viewing all the wildlife entries. The piece tells the story of small creatures going about their busy lives. Wildlife is not only the big creatures roaming about looking for a meal, but also about the daily flitting about interactions with other creatures. It is interesting to glimpse this micro-environment, not staged but natural. The encaustic medium adds a natural texture and sheen.

Tom Downing’s comment: Living adjacent to the Pinery Provincial Park has allowed my wife Mary and I to enjoy walks along the old Ausable River that runs from Grand Bend to Port Franks. Lily pad scenes such as the one depicted in this painting abound during the summer and fall. Josy has captured the beauty and peace of this scene perfectly.
