The Main Gallery Exhibition
1st Place: Beverly Schirmeier, Summer Revery, Pastel, 8×16, $5751st Place : “Summer Revery” Beverly Schirmeier Pastel Beverly Schirmeier checks all the boxes with “Summer Revery” in her composition and mastery over the medium of pastel. Her work pulls the viewer’s eye into the distance through her use of atmospheric perspective. Beverly Schirmeier takes relatively mundane subject matter and uses her poetry to make it compelling.
2nd Place Robin Hammeal Urban, Down River From The Gazebo, Oil, 6X12, $1852nd Place : “Down River From Gazebo” Robin Hammeal-Urban Oil Robin Hammeal-Urban successfully portrays a quiet marsh in “Down River From Gazebo” with her warm foreground in contrast to the cooler sky and water hues. Keeping her color values close to one another in her landscape results in a beautifully unified painting. Up close, the viewer can see the hand of the artist in the brushwork however the scene comes together coherently when viewed at a distance.
3rd Place: Randie Kahrl, Power To The Beach, Oil, 11×14, $6953rd Place : “Power to the Beach” Randi Kahrl Oil Randi Kahrl’s painting, “Power to the Beach” demonstrates control over her values in allowing the warm sunlight to accentuate the beach houses and the sand while keeping the other elements of the scene secondary. This artist uses a somewhat painterly technique which is a nice touch in Realism paintings.
4. Honorable Mention: Karen Wiesner, Summer Light, Pastel, 17×20, $450Honorable Mention “Summer Light” Karen Wiesner Pastel Karen Wiesner offers a lovely summer scene with her pastel, “Summer Light” where the viewer can feel the warmth of a summer day by the brook. Particularly striking is the violet water broken by a pale, wispy cloud reflecting the sky. The house nestled in the distance completes this composition while adding subtle interest.
5. Honorable Mention: Lorraine Yurkewicz, Wildflower Medley, Oil, 12×18, $675Honorable Mention : “Wildflower Medley” Lorraine Yurkewicz Oil Lorraine Yurkewicz produced a powerful painting in Wildflower Medley by having a foreground filled to the brim with flowers of various colors. Impressive is the control used in depicting these flowers by resisting the urge of repetition and only articulating those flowers closest to us. The artist uses great variety to describe the haphazard poses that wildflowers can assume.
6. Honorable Mention: Deborah Greco, Stalking Dinner, Oil, 10×20, $300Honorable Mention : “Stalking Dinner” Deborah Greco Oil Deborah Greco uses a strong composition in “Stalking Dinner” with her sliver of sky opposing the main focus of land and water. Deborah uses restraint in depicting the three water fowl by not allowing them to distract from the focus of this serene scene
7. Honorable Mention: Jeannette Delmore Morning At Clinton Beach Watercolor 11 X 15 250.00Honorable Mention : “Morning at Clinton Beach” Jeannette Delmore Watercolor Jeannette Delmore’s watercolor is soft and minimal yet conveys an atmosphere of calm and tranquillity. It is clear that the artist’s command of this medium allows the watercolor to do what it will while she adds her directive style.
