First Place
Soaking it All In, Tricia Hampo Cold Wax and Oil, 16x16, NFS Beautiful composition, a peaceful innocence. It made me to ponder what she is looking toward, I wanted to dive into the piece with here. Loved the abstract mountains. |

Second Place
Follow Fall, Linda Boyle Oil Impasto, 20x10, $375 The texture of the paint was inviting me into the scene and I placed myself on that path. Beautifully executed, an earthly delight. |

3rd Place
Fae Forest, Emily Meredith Acrylic on Canvas, 16x20, NFS Whimsical, delightful. The night sky to the left is welcoming, the trees are a storybook winter joy. It gifted me with a big smile. |

Juror Award
Sa Majeste, Timothy Smith Oil on Panel, 20x16, NFS The artist brought nobility to this beautiful rooster. It brought to mind my many visits to my Grandpas house in Tennessee and being fascinated by how stunning and proud the roosters were. The mountains and the sky took me back to all the other mountain relatives we stayed with, they all had fowl. Lovely piece. Honorable Mention

Vacuous, Pamela Day
Oxide-stained clay, found objects, 12x9, NFS I appreciate the found object aspect of the piece. The headless bust is fascinatingly replicating a cavity in a tree to house the key that the trickster Raven/Crow is dangling in it's beak. Delightful, it made me chortle. |
