This is a bright video of Andrew Gifford talking almost his London paintings - both his small-scale plein air studies (one of which has won this prize) or his larger studio paintings.

Lincoln Seligman Purchase Prize, £500 

Delia Tournay-Godfrey 'Summer eventide walk' - Lincoln Seligman Purchase Prize
I dearest simplifying what is there, omitting unnecessary detail, emphasizing unopen tones; using these elements to evoke a mood or atmosphere. Summer Evening Walk was painted quickly, the figure walking a domestic dog worked inward before disappearing, followed past times an intense menstruation of ikon action to resolve the residue of the panel.
I like Delia Tournay-Godfrey's travel - every bit seen on her website - a lot. It's real unproblematic as well as it does that thing a lot of artists are scared of - it places people inward a landscape.

However her website is 100% dedictaed to her fine art as well as tells me absolutely naught almost her. No CV, no creative mortal contestation - merely an e-mail address inward the footer. However if nosotros become to her page on the spider web log for Ipswich Art Society nosotros tin dismiss reveal out a flake to a greater extent than almost her.

Google tells me that she is (or was) represented inward East Anglia by:
