ANDY LIPTAK

What an innovative transmedia approach to landscape painting! Thank you for adding a dimensionality to this discipline. This is a truly engaging work.

– Jessica Lofthus

SECOND-PLACE

TERRIE HALEY

AKRON, OH

Strawberry Field

WATER BASED MEDIA

$175

 

 

There is an almost electric tonality to dried grasses in the sunlight and you’ve captured the energy of it beautifully. The cropping and temperature of this snapshot in time creates more complexity than meets the eye.

– Jessica Lofthus

THIRD-PLACE

MERRILY SPRAGUE

SILVER LAKE, OH

Sunrise Solitude

WATERCOLOR MEDIA

$95

Night landscapes are difficult to achieve. This artist has created and maintained depth and detail in a precise and magical way that keeps the viewer engaged and dreaming. Good job!

– Jessica Lofthus

HONORABLE MENTION

RUSS VERNON

COPLEY, OH

Floral

WATER BASED MEDIA

$150

The use of unedited, blocked brush strokes brings a liveliness to this still life that keeps it interesting and kinetic. An excellent example of how to insinuate a refinement that isn’t necessary to enjoy the energy of a setting.

– Jessica Lofthus

HONORABLE MENTION

CHRISTINE MORROW

STOW, OH

Slowly Wilting

PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDIA

$275

The perspective of this piece brings a freshness to the discipline of still life painting that I’ve never seen before. The bird’s eye view into the pitcher creates a fun dialogue that’s whimsical and unique!

– Jessica Lofthus

HONORABLE MENTION

SHARON IRWIN

KENT, OH

Sonoma Milk Shed

OIL BASED MEDIA

NFS

A seemingly simple scene, the artist has used small shifts in tone and blending to create a warmth to this scene that might otherwise be overlooked. One can almost feel the warmth and expansiveness of the sky on their skin.

– Jessica Lofthus
