Honorable Mention Other Media
|
|
"Thornbird" by Julie Jilek
"A
gem of a composition! I love the emotional rendering of the girl's face
contrasted with the suggestion of the birds' motion with the circular
design. Very original and creative treatment!"
|
|
|
|
"Thoughts of Elberta" by Brenda Hash
"Another very strong
piece, the rendering of the girl's head is dead-on. The expression and
gesture of the pose is completely believable."
|
Honorable Mention Oils/ Acrylics
|
|
|
"Pete" by Nicole Moné
"A little gem, the temperature shifts are subtle but dead on."
|
|
|
|
"My Shoe Your Shoe" by
Marci Oleszkiewicz
"Excellent composition!
Degas-like Hard to have multiple figures all read well and yet still
have a clear focal point. Tells a story."
|
2nd Place Oils & Acrylics
$250 cash plus a $500 art materials certificate from Jack Richeson & Co.
Tim Tyler
"Puppetmaster"
Oil 36 x 33
"Strong, impactful piece, it cannot be ignored. Great rendering, the 3-D effect absolutely does "fool the eye."
-William Schneider
2nd Place Other Media
$250 cash plus a $500 art materials certificate from Jack Richeson & Co.
Emanuela De Musis
"Portrait of Something Lost"
Graphite 19 x 25
" Deceptively
simple design! The soft (and usually completely lost) edge work
reinforces this poetic interpretation of the subject."
-William Schneider
1st Place Oils & Acrylics
$500 cash plus a $1,000 art materials certificate from Jack Richeson & Co.
Katherine Stone
"Furs"
Oil 18 x 26
"I love the accuracy of texture (fur, hair and cloth all read!) Great, subtle color harmony. Tight without being brittle."
-William Schneider
1st Place Other Media
$500 cash plus a $1,000 art materials certificate from Jack Richeson & Co.
Rita Romero
"The Gold Bangle"
Pastel 23 x 27
"Outstanding
drawing, value, temperature and edge control. The rendering of the
hands is masterful and as expressive as the face."
-William Schneider
BEST IN SHOW
$5,000 Cash
August Burns
"Roller Derby Queen"
Oil 24 x 30
"This
is the complete package - stunning from across the room or two feet
away. Excellent drawing and rendering. The temperature shift between
light and shadow is very close yet totally believable. Love the soft
transitions."
-William Schneider
