| BEST OF SHOW |
|
|
Dennis Zimmerman
Watercolor
Cotton-Picken Tree |
|
Dazzling
watercolor (Cotton Pick¹n Tree) really captures the sense of
light and movement as one may find driving on a country road under a
bright autumn sky. |

FIRST PLACE
Ron Porta
Photography
Foggy Autumn Dawn |
|
Captures
light and an altogether different mood in his excellent photograph of
Foggy Antrim Morning. A digital photo that has a wonderful quality
of tone that makes me think of some early photographers.

|
 |
2ND PLACE
Richard Clem
Oil
December Red & Green |
|
Direct,
plein air painting, December Red and Green has a wonderful
pattern and design that supports a lively handling and a chromatic
palette that often is difficult to use. |
| |
|
|
| 3RD PLACE |
|
|
 |
|
 |
Renate Burgyan-Fackler
Bronze
La Gioconda |
|
To make the
very challenging medium of bronze dance and swing with a breezy quality
is no mean feat, but Renate Burgyan-Fackler has managed just that
in her bronze sculpture, La Gioconda.
|
| |
| HONORABLE MENTIONS |
Among the
Honorable Mentions are many works deserving extra attention. Sherry
Mullett¹s Amish Country Autumn has a sophisticated palette
and great sense of space. Jim Glover nails the essence of plein
air painting with Fading Light. Charles Rowland (Streets
of London) and Vivian Ripley (Northern Overlook)
handle watercolor and pastel respectively in a classic manner free of
³tricks of technique² in a most satisfying way. Bob Tanner¹s
Molly has a great pattern and subtle palette, it reminds me of an
early work by the great Bob Peak. Finally, Gary Chaconas¹ highly
charged brush and vibrant color aid the strong structure and design of
Spring Rock Creek Park.
