First Place

Waterfall in Spring Garden by Laurence Walden

​This painting shouts Spring in all its glory. The different plants are beautifully done in oil, acrylic and watercolor. What’s amazing to me is that with all the bright colors and objects, there is a harmony of balance in this piece. The splash of light at the top of the waterfall adds the perfect focal point to begin your travel around this marvelous piece. Well done!
First Place Award was sponsored in memory of Artist Janet Jurgens Adragna

Second Place

The Guardian by Donna Chapman Grasso

hat a tender, pastoral scene. The light and play of shadows and the warm/cool hues draw the viewer in. Celebrating new birth captures the theme of Spring in an expert, painterly manner.  Quite moving! 

Third Place

Koi by Farhara Hasan

​What a stunning image this is, the colors, the flow, the movement, the design…all combine to make this a spectacular piece. The gold of the koi is striking, as is the fading of its tail into the blackness. Just mesmerizing!

Honorable Mention
​
Nasturtiums by Jessie Cook

I was charmed by the simplicity of this painting and the painterly effects. The nasturtiums blooming in front of the multicolor fence announce that Spring is here. It’s a very inviting scene and well crafted. Congratulations!
