Best of Show: Summer's End by Laurinda O'Conner
"A beautiful, suggestive abstraction of a landscape. Juicy colors, soft, bold confidence. This painting’s strong design makes it the perfect balance of detail and abstraction, warm and cool, simple and complex." --Jeanne Rosier Smith
2nd Place: Evening on the Dunes by Christine Bodnar
"Gorgeous color and knockout design make this a winner. Those bold oranges pull us in to enjoy the subtle darks and luminous snow shadows." --Jeanne Rosier Smith
3rd Place: Just Being Koi by Eileen Casey
"This is an utterly compelling use of pattern and color to create a sense of vibrant moving fish in cold dark water. For such a complicated scene, we might have expected more detail, but the artist’s confident mark-making makes this a masterpiece of suggestion." --Jeanne Rosier Smith
