Judge's Comments: I enjoyed viewing this excellent, diverse and very creative exhibit. The award winners demonstrated skill and originality. "The Critic" by Deborah Biasetti shows mastery of her medium in an exciting splash of color which is true to her subject. "Axel" is a complete composition in a small space, beautifully painted and so touching. "The Neighborhood" by Laurie Garret is beautifully created in an unusual medium and deserving of recognition. Congratulations to all the exhibiting artists.
