If you are fully vaccinated, facial coverings are optional, however the CDC advises individuals who are not fully facinated to continue wearing a facial covering, perhaps taking inspiration from the Queen fashionably turned out in artCentral Green with her matching mask!!!!

SELECTION COMMENTS - JUROR NANCY DUNAWAY

UNDERWRITER & GOLD Awards:  Raptors of a Contemptuous Fall (Black Lives Matter) • Andrew W. Batcheller 
This is a magnificent piece, not only in technique and size, but most of all, in concept. The use of a formal classical style to express the anguish of continued struggles of racial inequality is handled masterfully by the artist in so many ways. There are so many symbols that can tell an individual story to the viewer or a collective story to all of us. The poppies in red and white and their stems tethering the raptors to each other and to the space below, the circular form and vase from classic cultures, the nod to Egypt in the headdress of the figure… we can muse on these for hours. The sea behind in the background is calm but changes as it passes beyond the tableau above. It is rich with narrative that fuels our imagination and invites us all to consider the horrific reality in a calm and reflective manner. The color choices are right on and the contrast is handled well. It is perfectly balanced and yet has many small details that pull us in for a closer look and a break in the formality that entertains us. Well Done.
 
SILVER Award: Drums in Flight 2 • Clint Thornton
The motion in this piece grabs us and makes us move closer to absorb the movement that is so beautifully executed. The compositional use of space is lovely and fits the focus, which is the flight of the drums as the drumsticks move in wing-like fashion over their surface. The use of the stark white of the arms and hands is a perfect contrast with the blue-black to blue gradation of color in the background and gives the feel of a spotlight on stage at a club where the music takes over everyone’s soul. The forms on the left side reveal other players on the stage but the focus is definitely on those frenzied drumsticks. The colors used on the left side become abstracted and haunting, dividing the space in places where stories could linger. The color crosses the center line in the bottom foreground and drops us into the blues of the background, leading our eye across the surface in a way that entertains us. Capturing all this motion is a huge task and the artist has done a wonderful job.

BRONZE Award: Share Ring • David Greenwood-Mathé
 What hit me about this piece is the simplicity of it. The quietness of it…even though the subject is singing bowls. It is well executed and the color choices are perfect. The simplicity of the bowls doing their own dance and sharing the energy of the sound emitted is enticing. The energy of the sound wafting up from them into the space and the meeting of the two bowls in the middle is delightful. The subtlety of color and the quiet transitions between tones are perfect, and the soft transitions from golds to greens with the soft dancing shadows and then the introduction of the red magenta line changing to the darker purplish lines works so well. I also loved the play on words of the title. It really evokes a feeling of peace and joy and the beauty of stillness as well. The accent of the lone soft charcoal mark to the right of the middle bowls adds a touch of mystery. Excellent job.

HONORABLE MENTION: Red Pickup • Jim Bray
This piece was very interesting and I responded to the dreamy vista and to the mark making. The road leading back to the farm buildings led the eye back to the mid-ground in an intriguing way. The artist has a beautiful delicate way of making marks that are soft, then strong and really makes for a gorgeous surface. The variations in line width and weight and the handling of the dark negative spaces in the building are lovely. This piece evokes a love of the landscape and gives a feeling of home. The tiny red truck peeking out of the barn conjures memories of rides in the back on a starry night or a trip down the road to a neighbor’s on a sunny day. A lovely piece of work. 

HONORABLE MENTION: Something Old, Something Blue • Maddie Capps
This photograph is just such a lovely piece recording America and it’s wonderful small towns. It captures the joy and the nostalgia of these places. The photographer has a great eye and has framed the sign with its swallow feeling as if it winged down from the blue sky before the clouds took over and landed in a wonderful place to stay the night. The red of the neon signs in the window and indicating the lobby draw us almost into the motel itself and we can image a road trip from the past when our parents were tired of all the noise in the back seat and needed a place to rest. It’s intimacy really struck me and created a lasting impression. I can see a series beginning here.  

HONORABLE MENTION: Waterfall at Cox Spring • Margie Moss
I love this little piece. Not only does it show us a lovely spot, but it evokes with its broad strokes and colors the feel of being in that spot on a sunny day and feeling the energy of the waterfall and all the lush foliage around it. The vibrant colors add to the joy and mystery that lets the viewer fill in any details he or she may need. It is well handled and just makes me smile. The repetition of the blue through the foliage at the top and the yellow greens guide our eye around the piece and lead us to discover each section of the painting and the touches of orange makes the blues and greens sing even louder.
