Best in Show
Lee Ackert Memorial Award
Judge’s Comments
The strength on this piece are the sharp lines of the architecture in contrast with atmospheric perspective and metaphysical light on house.
1st Place
Judge’s Comments
Well played cool versus warm color shift in addition with saturation to desaturation, and value range makes those flowers an ephemeral almost abstract still life
2nd Place
Judge’s Comments
Cropping, composition well done with fast brush strokes. Nice painting. The use of chromatics darks instead of black plays well with the impressionist nature of the painting.
3rd Place
Judge’s Comments
I just want to eat that cloud.” It is really well done. Despite the small size, paintings have the potential of incapsulating a universe. Masterfully done.
Merit Award
Judge’s Comments
What I like is how it has the man made structure, cold, metal contrasted with the nature. It sticks out. It works well how the curve of the tree with the bridge. Foreign but harmonious at the same time.
Merit Award
The horse in the background is hidden in the value of the composition but the red makes it a distinct character just enough. The soft edged legs of the red horse convey movement in a static symmetric composition.
Merit Award
Judge’s Comments
The artist’s style is playing well with realistic foreground versus distilled background. I like the finish versus the more essential. Chromatic then more muted.
Honorable Mention
Judge’s Comments
A difficult subject to draw let alone paint, nicely rendered.
Honorable Mention
Judge’s Comments
It feels like a vintage postcard, like bleached out by the sun. It speaks of the subject very well. In this desaturated context the muted orange appears chromatic.
Honorable Mention
In this green cold story that this painting is telling, that separating net attracts the viewer with the warmer temperature luminosity.
Maya Bryant Award for Plein Air
Judge’s Comments
If you look at the sky it could be a sunrise; the bridge conveys the idea of the sunset. The bridge sets the mood for this beautiful little oil study.
