I was recently entered in the South Mississippi Art Association's 33rd annual show. All three of my paintings placed! I won first place for Oils with "Red Shoes" 24x18". I also won first in pastels with "Hot Stuff", 18x24", and third place with "Twilight" 26x13".
Judges comments :
1st place "Red Shoes" - This painting has it all - content, composition, craftsmanship! Beautifully done!
1st place "Hot Stuff" - This piece has a superb composition and handling of the medium! A painting made with pastel! The use of black in the background forces the viewer to focus on the subject matter which is the only real and important thing. The red/green palette combined with just the right greys (neutrals) just makes it all work!
3rd place "Twilight" - A true classical use of pastel - masterful use of light - giving this piece a definite "time and "place".
