1st Place: Emma Sims "Father and Daughters" Pastel
This is a lovely painterly work of art. The artist captured the character and relationship of Father and Daughters beautifully. There are many passages of complex color and nice technique with the pastel. Great edge work in this piece. Pastel is both a drawing and painting medium and this artist took full advantage of this exploiting both.
2nd Place: Arnel Artus "Street Artist" Oil
This artist really understands the figure. The figure was handled extremely well and is to scale for this complex piece of work. The organization and composition was nicely handled. I like the use of color in the overall design of this beautiful work of art.
3rd Place: Ava Ghayoumi "HOPE" Watercolor
This figurative work really pulled me into the face first and then the body and legs. Nice composition. The edges of this painting were handled with a fine artists' eye. The choice to place the dancer in a larger space rather than cropping in closer was interesting.
