Honorable Mention Awards

"Bluebird, Bartletts & Cara Caras" by Rebecca Korth "The bird, the cut glass bowl the complementary color scheme keep the flow going in this beautiful still life. " "Fireworks" by Patrick Saunders "An apt title for this beautiful, Impressionistic piece. The clean, imaginative color variations within the shadows are exquisite."

"UFO's" by Michael Freeman "Great use of light and shadow to create form and depth. The pull string even gives the viewer a hint as to the height of the toy. It makes me happy."

3rd Place $500 Art Material Certificate from Jack Richeson & Co.

"Ultramarine Madness" by Eric Johnson  "Texture again…the fur, the skill, the cold brass and the chalky pigment. Its an irresistible Artist’s Vanitas. Humor and technical mastery all in one."

2nd Place $750 Art Material Certificate from Jack Richeson & Co.

"From Morning Garden" by Keiko Yasuoka  "What beautiful handling of watercolor…the washy, blooming shadow is an intriguing focus of the composition and is perfectly balanced by the other elements. There is something to appreciate in every inch of this piece."

1st Place $1000 Art Material Certificate from Jack Richeson & Co.

"Unveiled" by Lucas Bononi "Nostalgia hit me with this piece (my mom had a mixer like this) but it was the handling of the cellophane/wrapping that astounded me. Great use of abstract shapes, color temperature and especially those luscious lost and found edges. Very, very ‘painterly’ while losing none of the important details."

Best in Show 2018 $2,500 CASH

"Ashes and Embers" by Julie Beck "For me, this one is a symphony of textures and light, beautifully wrought. You can almost feel the difference in weight of the iron lantern and the tin box, and feel the smooth solidity of the carved bird. The light leaves no question of dimensionality (especially the dish): Not just the shadow but the way the light within the dish is handled as well. Great use of edges and color."
