Show's over, and another winner has been chosen

We had beautiful weather for the Mackinaw City Arts & Craft show this weekend in Mackinaw City, MI. This is what our booth looked like, in case you didn't make it to the show.

We had a drawing for a numbered, limited edition print of the Mackinac Bridge, and are pleased to announce that we have selected our winner from those who stopped by the booth and entered the drawing. Congratulations to Nancy T from Texas!

If you missed us at this show, make plans to visit us later this year in Cheboygan, again in Mackinaw City and closing out the summer at Garfield Park in Grand Rapids.

The WINNERS are in!


Congratulations to the winners of our Spring Flowers Contest on this, the first day of summer. Thanks to all who entered our contest this year, and we look forward to seeing more of your photos for our next contest.

I can never figure out if it's best to start with third place and work up, or first place and work down. Maybe we should have a contest to see which is the best way to announce winners, but not now.

Our third prize winner is Peggy S of Temecula, CA with her very colorful flower bush. I'm sure the flowers have names, but not being a botanist, I don't know them, and Peggy didn't tell us, so they will ever be referred to as "Peggy's Flower Bush".

For finishing third, Peggy will receive a boxed set of 10 note cards based on her photo. Congratulations, Peggy!

Second prize goes to Jill G of Grand Rapids, MI and her photo taken at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.


For winning second prize, Jill will receive a box of 10 note cards based on her photo plus a 5" x 7" matted print of the watercolor painting based on her photo.

And now, for the announcement you've all been waiting for, the grand prize winner of our contest is Jason C of St. Paul, MN.


As grand prize winner, Jason will receive the actual watercolor based on his painting, a 5" x 7" matted print plus a box of 10 note cards.

Once again, congratulations and thanks to all who entered! Stop by watercolorsbyphyllis.com and find your favorites.
