Juror, Lisa Flynn, Comments
This was very hard and so many deserve to be recognized for different reasons. I viewed the show 4 different times each time seeing something new and making it more difficult to choose. Beautiful Show!
Award Winners
Best In Show
Heather Quay “Amish Afternoon”
Small but mighty I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was a space that I wanted to be in.
Honorable Mention
Dave Kaphammer, “Neighborhood Shadows”
There is a real sense of community and attention to detail.
Honorable Mention
Jeanne Rosier Smith, “Fresh Tracks”
White is always a difficult thing to paint and Sargent did it best. However, Jeanne’s snow is illuminating and the light is beautiful.
There are three other paintings in the show that were making my decision tough.
“Among the Rocks” by Allison Krajcik
the light is very beautiful.
“The Lily Pads” by Eileen Casey
the colors are beautiful and it is well composed.
“Heading Home” by Laurinda Phakos O’Connor
I love her work.
