i am so excited for you !!! i love this painting, your work is fantastic and beautiful !!
Joseph Barbara replied
Thank you so much, Karon, for telling me, I did not even realise. I was out putting up a large commissioned abstract painting ( 1m X 1.5M ) and just returned. That’s quite a nice surprise especially I also found out that another painting came first in the Everything Maltese challenge at the same time.
I painted and exhibted South America in 1986 and it was sold from the exhibition to be given as a present to a Columbian couple.
Stzar
oh wow ~ that is so awesome Joseph !! i’m so glad you kept a lovely photograph of this painting, it is superb !!
Congratulations for both wins !!
Joseph Barbara replied
Thanks from my heart again. In fact, the painting is featured front page, in a brochure that I printed for the inauguration of the exhibition, back in 1986.

I used transparent ink used by printers in jars and the black is Indian ink. As you can notice from the background the colours merge into each other. This was painted back in 1986.
