HONOURABLE MENTION- June 2012
  "Nothing is Impossible" 

Here's a splendid example of how a clever caption can add an unmistakable dimension to an artwork. "Nothing is Impossible" takes on a whole new meaning as I marvel at how high these onions are stacked - seemingly defying the laws of gravity. Taken together, the caption and its corresponding watercolour painting become a powerful philosophical statement. The purple onion at lower right grounds me in the scene.  Then, my eye is drawn - in a most pleasing way - up..... Up the stack of onions to the top of the image.  I get the message.  I smile.
