JUROR'S NOTES

Showing your art is like sharing a piece of your heart and soul. As a juror, I am honored to have this opportunity! After looking at the show several times on my own, I asked my husband to sit down with me to take a closer look. When we enlarged them, his comment was, "Each one of them looks like a winner to me!" My sentiments exactly!

When I looked through the whole show, satisfying value and color made me take notice right away. Then I noticed unusual subjects or ways of viewing them, exceptional drawing skills, interesting edges, creative imagination, or titles that made me look twice. Sometimes I broke out laughing at the simple delight invoked by your work. Whatever the reaction, the more ways I felt a connection, the more likely it will be among choices for awards. Keep in mind, however, that my choices are simply one person's opinion in the mix. I thank you all for sharing your wonderful work and I hope each of you think of yourselves as winners!

Best of Show

Summer Time by Alyona Nickelsen

This is just delicious. The values pop out, the colors have substance, the distortions of the straw in that glass intrigue me, and the reflections on the table pull me right in. Besides that, Alyona does a great job of handling edges and making real subjects look real. Even the face made by the lemon seeds looks straight into the viewer's eyes.

1st Place

The Usual Suspects by Ranjini Venkatachari

These are real suspect, if you ask me! They are all different, they have personality, they have shadowy suggestions behind, and I'm pulled into the drama at once with the great use of value and color. That little "v" of light blue next to the orange "suspect" gives it pizzazz, and the gentle reflections in front show a marvelous use of color and soft to disappearing edges. I love the lost and found edges.

2nd Place

Prelude to a Kiss by Kimberly Kincaid

I'm swept away by this dreamy suggestion. It's full of imagination and provokes feelings of magic we all wish for. The serene look on her face and the angular position almost makes me feel like she is being lifted into the sky. This piece takes me on a journey, and it does so with the excellent use of Kimberly's imagination, value, satisfying color, and a variety of edges.

3rd Place

Golden Boys by Sherry Bevins

The eyes have it. These little golden boys offer so much eye contact and soft textured fur that I'm pulled right in! I'm incredibly impressed with the amount of interest and variety Sherry gets while still using the same colors. Her color layering and values are masterfully achieved with a touch of muted complements.
