THE MORTIMORE UNPACKER'S PRIZE
Steve Harris has been awarded the 2011 Mortimore Unpacker's Prize.
Steve's home and studio is at Old Erowal Bay on the South Coast of NSW.
This marvellous painter has hooked me with this one.
This picture is a classic example of 'less is more'. A simple, uncluttered subject that is superbly rendered.
I feel as though the trout is approaching me, even eyeballing me. The surface reflection and the light dancing on both the river bed and the trout is pure magic.
I have seen quite a few pictures where the viewer is placed underwater, but none better than this one.
Congratulations Steve. I hope this isn't the kiss of death !!
See you at the Mortimore !
