WINNERS
Just pencils CategoryAndrea Michael – Visit Andrea’s Website ARTIST STATEMENT:
FROM THE JUDGE – BETSY JONES: I chose Entry #07 for the pure colored pencil category, not just because of the technical ability shown, which is amazing, but also for the composition of the piece; the cat seems to appear out of the darkness and it’s eyes and fur radiate in a warm glow. The wild cat is so intent and focused, I can feel the tension and am waiting for it to pounce. The tree limb grounds the image, giving it more substance, and its diagonal line keeps the eye coming back around to the subject. The play of light and dark is reminiscent of the old masters, and is captivating with this magnificent hunter. |
Mixed MediaRichard Klekociuk – Visit Richard’s Website ARTIST STATEMENT: FROM THE JUDGE – BETSY JONES: For the mixed media category, I have selected Entry #04. The range of techniques used along with the vibrant color scheme makes my heart skip. I found myself looking deeper into this image, sticking my nose into my monitor, to see every little detail within this piece. There is a conversation of colors and textures here, and a sort of playfulness. |
People Choice AwardJennifer Ridge-Cooke – Visit Jennifer’s website I got serious about drawing in 2007 when I was couch bound due to a back injury. I was emotional being restricted and had to express myself. I found that photos always depicted a snapshot in time, not just of what we see but the emotion reflected in that moment. |
