original piece is copyrighted.
Jacquelyn Berl
@ Ascender Rises Above
Mixed Media; Pressed Foliage, Watercolor, Colored Pencil, Pen
and Ink on Handmade Paper. Forming ’something’ out of ‘the nothing’
often overlooked in everyday life, these one-of-a-kind folk art pieces
take up to a year to complete as flowers and leaves are collected,
pressed, preserved and finally hidden within a vision that evolves
continually.
31"W x 21H (40" W x 28 " H including matt and frame)
Although preserved in the same manner as a piece of handmade paper.
Within the larger pieces packets of silica gel are placed between the
original and the frame to absorb humidity. Though framed, each piece
continues to be fragile and must be handled with extra care. As with
most pieces of fine art; the original should not be placed in a window
or beneath bright light.
PRICE $4,000 + shipping and handling

Ha! First vote! I hoped the time difference would work in my favour!
It's so hard to choose one - they are all so good and so different...
Thanks for doing this. I'm away for a week next week so I won't be able to get stressed out if no-one votes for mine as I won't be able to check it out! :D
Yellow Sky is 18" x 11", Pastel on Card. Thanks, Kim! Casey.
Hi Kim,
A great gallery of Artwork!
Surprising, no Speedy artwork was submitted? ;-)
I am always catching Miss Moneypenny drawing comical computer artwork of me! ;~)
Oops, Kim, I was just going to enter today, but since it's already tomorrow where you are, I missed the deadline!
At least I got to vote!
Hope all is well...
:) :) :)
These are great pieces. I had a hard time choosing, it took me awhile.
I'm sure your work will get plenty of votes Diane ;) :)
have tons of fun on your trip !!!!
hi Casey
have added those details :)
thanks DD :)
you certainly make a fantastic model !!!
Miss MP has certainly captured your likeness ;)
yes..I thought Speedy might have entered.....
there's always the next competition :)
perhaps Miss MP...might submit an oil portrait of you next time..
ps...
you could always enter one of your stunning lighthouse photos too ;)

my art blog:
http://www.beardedbunnyblog.blogspot.com
Wow!! Some impressive work here. Yep, next time I'm getting some paint and giving it a go. Moneypenny's was very silly and very funny.
I like the addition of Diane's books ... they really are artistic :-)
I love how you put these contests together, and have a blast seeing the fine art on your blog Kim. My eyes are opened to something new here each and every time I stop by.
Speedy like Laketrees :-)
wow! I love your blog! And I love that I stopped by in time to vote for some artwork, only because I enjoyed viewing it SO much. What a nice sampling. So diverse. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Just thought I would let you know that I linked to your blog since you had a donut post (killer meat pie post ... I loved it!) and I happen to be launching donuts at Speedcat today and at anyone who knows him. You know ... just a friendly little gift from me to you. lol.
I'd put on a hat or carry an umbrella if I were you!
:D Wendster
hi Wiliam.. :)

hi baby~amore'

I'm glad I don't have to choose :)

Hi Kim,I was instantly drawn to and voted for "Twilight".Being in my twilight years I immediately related to this beautiful painting that expressed my emotions of 6 years of life without my wonderful partner of 55 years. Thank you and praise to all the entrants. Love you and your blog. BB
thanks Mum..
I agree....
I was very impressed with this painting too....
and I think your reasons for being drawn to it were very similar to how I felt...
love you :-X :-X
How do I Olive Oil paint thee? Let me count the ways! ;~)
A secret lighthouse photo is a interesting idea!
Looks like my breakfast was launched by the Wendster family! :-)
ah yes Miss Van MP :)
I do believe your photos would make top entries...
I'm so glad that I'm out of range over here ...haah
If I had no exams this last 3 weeks..I would have participated!!!
Anyway I am Glad to vote, they are all great artwork..very nice gallery.
hi Doudy..
I hope your exams went well..
I'll be sure to have another competition soon :)
Kim--Thank you for hosting this!! The size of mine (#1) is 8" x 8". I think it has feet instead of inches on it.
Thank you again! You rock!
Suzan Buckner

thanks for calling by and leaving your vote....
I like the reason for your choice..
have a great weekend Netster :) :)
It is really difficult to choose!
Hello Kim,
This is voting for only ONE choice and voting is done only ONCE? How terribly cruel and unkind. LOL!
It's so difficult. I'll have to return several times to see which of the choices I have sticks in my head the longest.:-)
The slide was very well crafted and edited. So, I have till the 24th. I'll vote before then. :-) Durano, done!
Cool contest, I vote for #12 :)
Everything is so different and so wonderful! I am honoured to be a part of this group of artists...
Kim - send hugs to your Mom. I am so pleased that the painting touched her. :)
A great and diverse collection of artwork, Kim :-)
Voted, but I won't say which one ;-)
My bests to everyone!
what a great way to share these talented artists in an interactive way! it was hard to choose only one
hi Lone Beader..
thanks for calling by and all the best with your vote :)
take your time Durano ;)...
I'm relieved ...in a way...that I don't have to make a choice (being the organizer...it's against the rules for me to vote !)
I know your will make an excellent choice being the connoisieur that you are ;)
have a terrific day:)
thanks for your vote Richard :)
hi Michelle
I have passed the message and the hugs ;) on to my Mum...thanks for calling by :)
thanks Deborah (you secret squirrel voter)
and big hugs to you for the stumble and mixx...
I really appreciate it :) :)
hi Beat Black..
thanks very much ..
your vote is appreciated :)
After rasslin` with my decision, I finally made my vote. Looks like a strong leader in the polls!!
Who will win in the stretch?? .... they are coming around the final bend with each artwork digging into the turf .... an oil on canvas is gaining ground .... they are frame and frame at the poll ... and a scrapbook is making a late charge! ( ******** ) wins the Laketrees' Triple Crown!!!!!!!
I bet on the "exacta" and "show" placements :-)
ps .... I usually hot box your blog by hitting stop load and don't actually SEE your sidebar too often. Do you have a widget that delivers the latest feeds from Hollydale and others? SO COOL!!
I even see the bumps at Technorati .... "magic"!
ROFL Speedy !!!
you're too too funny :) :)
I can just picture the artworks on the track !!!
it looks like the stakes are definitely hotting up...
and still 4 days to go too!!
that widget is an RSS feed linked to my google reader and is working in conjunction with my top commentators widget...
it is cool...and glad to hear that Technorati IS recognising it :)
#9
A think of beauty is joy for ever.The beauty of the Artwork will never end.
Oh my Kim this was a toughie. They are all fantastic!!
So I am not revealing my vote publicly.
Good luck to everyone!!
I hope you have a grand week Kim. As for us we are headed to Maine to welcome Jonah into the world.
Jonah will be our 5th grandson....we are so very excited.
Now everyone just pray that I can get our trusty little lap top all set up so I can keep blogging while away for almost two months.
Hugs,
Jackie
Really great art showcased here. I prefer #5.
Definitely #5
#10
I voted in your poll!
Next contest I may submit one of my visionary art pieces.
That kitty kat has scratched me under the litter....then the eye opened and blinked.....I am at 2 percent and fading.
Life is short, but there is always time enough for voter fraud.
ringo, paul, JOHN and george

Great blog Kim. You're a great artist.Thanks for honoring me with your comment in my Kalinga Man contest. Sending 50 EC as a thank you. Keep posting.

great artworks! my favorite is #6 'Pain in the Eye' :)
Its unbelievable to me that people can art like this.
Hello Kim,
I'm surprised by the voting. I didn't expect to see such lopsided scores, and the choices seem to reflect the spirit of the times. :-)
Anyway, I cast my vote without being affected by the majority.:-)
Nice to have participated. This is a tremendous effort on your part. Congratulations! :-) --Durano, done!
hi Lifecruiser
thanks for calling in and for your vote too !!!

hi Renny
I think the poll allows one vote per computer so it depends on how many computers are in your house :)
I imagine you would have at least 2
calling by your friend's blog was the least that I could do Renny...
