Arte y Pico

Thanks Silvina for nominating me!

Arte y Pico is a blog from Uruguay who's blogger has come up with this award. It is being passed from blog to blog and is a nice way of telling a fellow artist that you like their work. Arte y Pico, loosely translated from Spanish to English means "The Best Art" or "Over the Top".

Now it is my turn to choose 5 artists to bestow the notorious feathered statuette on.

Nathan Fowkes, for his poweful ability to handle watercolour and charcoal like I have never seen before!
Karen Jurick, for her passion and desire to keep painting those wonderful miniatures of day to day life in amazing, blazing colours!
Katherine Tyrell, for her simple mission of presenting to us, artists, everything we ever wanted to know about the art world!
Charlie Parker, for presenting to us the lives of many hidden master artists, we would never have discovered anywhere else!
Neil Campbell Ross, for his ability to compose simple shapes and colours into master works of Illustrative beauty!

If you've already gotten this award, please dismiss this one, but know that I think you deserve it.
If you are too busy painting (like all productive artists should be) to post this and choose 5 others, I understand.

If you choose to accept, here are the rules:
Pick five blogs you really like for their creativity, design, interesting material, and for contributing to the blogging community.
Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given him or her the award.
The award winner and the one who has given the award have to show the link Arte y Pico blog so that one and all will know the origin of this award.
