Looking Forward
Colored pencil - $4,000
Judges Comments: This wonderful piece explores the balance between abstraction and realism. Broad shapes define the form from a distance, while intricate details and textures emerge up close. The artist’s control and intent are evident, making this piece both visually striking and deeply engaging.
THIRD PLACE - Jeff George
Until the End
Colored pencil - NFS
Judges Comments: This drawing is a stunning display of composition, color, and negative space. The artist’s technical skill is evident, but it’s their intuitive sense of storytelling and drama that makes the piece so compelling. Still and quiet, yet emotionally charged, it leaves the viewer wanting to know more.
Honorable Mention - Lorraine Bollinger
Eyelash Envy
CP & pan pastel - NFS
Judges Comments: The artist uses soft, lost edges to guide the eye around the composition, leading us naturally to the focal point. The detailed eyes, muzzle, and nose contrast with the soft fur, blending into the background. The delicate color palette enhances the calm mood, with the white fur subtly mirrored in the background for added depth and harmony.
Honorable Mention - Gary Dyak
Dazzled
Colored pencil - NFS
Judges Comments: Bold, saturated colors and a composition bursting from the center outward make this piece feel alive with energy. The name “Dazzled” perfectly captures the joy, renewal, and exhilaration that radiates from the artwork, making it impossible to ignore.
Honorable Mention - Lisa Raymer
The Key
Watercolor pencils - NFS
Judges Comments: This artwork stands out with its subtle monochromatic palette and low contrast, drawing you in with its intriguing subject matter. The scuffs on the wood hint at a story of constant use, sparking curiosity about the key’s significance and history. It’s this ability to evoke so many questions and keep the viewer engaged that truly sets it apart.
