People’s Choice, Old Country Roses, Colleen Tetley

This painting is unique in that, while it appears to be framed, it is in fact all painted on a flat canvas, “frame” included. The same painting also won People’s Choice in the 2015 Frankton Art Awards. It sold at the Kapiti art show and now hangs in a local home....
