“Firey Frond” by Donna Arnaudoff

This is a beautiful example of negative shape painting, as well as what to put in and what to take out. This painter listened to the “one focal point” rule with creativity and a loose brush. Beautifully done.

Juror’s Choice

“Zoutelande Beach” by Jan Min

The expansive feeling of this painting is a grand view of pure wet space. The aroma of sea salt and silence says you have arrived. I’m smiling staring at this.

“In Her Garden” by Jean Silva

The sketch and wash technique caught my eye. It felt like an earlier illustration of a contemporary dress design. The light touch is masterful.

“Relationships 18” by Su Yong Kown

This painter loves to use paint and shows it. Strong, definite strokes, a variety of box sizes and muted hues gives this painting a very mature feeling.
