Honorable Mentions
"San Juan Island"
__Dianne Hicks
Judge: “This painting has a high degree of difficulty. Executed with subtlety. Tends to abstraction.”
"Magnificent Elephant
Hawk Moth"
__Debbie Hornibrook
Judge: “Carefully designed. Very nicely executed in the lettering. Great vintage appeal. Balanced composition.”
"Breezy Day"
__Nola Pear
(marbled floral with dragonfly)
Judge: "Great integration of marbled textures and design of floral artwork. Very delicate and soft flowers. Can feel movement of wind through the painting through the arcs."
"Dem Crazy Bones"
__Terry Schmidt
(skeleton with marbling)
Judge: ”You expect the bones to get up and dance. It is hard to create the feeling of dimensionality and shape in the space of the ribs and hips, and this is a real achievement."
"Finn"
__Karen Berg
Judge: “Looks real. Appreciation for the technique and meticulous execution through loving detail.”
