Clear water and bright skies.

There’s no doubt the color blue reminds us of summer. And with the last few days of the season upon us, we at Artwork Archive decided to host an Instagram contest devoted entirely to the color that evokes summer’s beauty.

In hopes of winning a $50 gift card to Blick Art Materials, over 100 participants tagged their favorite works on Instagram with the hashtag #AAEndOfSummerBlues—and it did not disappoint! We saw a range of subject matter full of masterful compositions and extraordinary details, all using beautiful blue tones.

And the lucky winner was…

Annie Wildey!

Take a look at her stunning seascape, “In My Dreams II.” We loved how she captured the movement of the waves, brought to life by her exquisite details in the salt water. We could almost feel the spray of sea!

 

We saw so many incredible works. Check out some other impressive submissions we received!
