GOLD
“Midori no Hono” by Emily Rose
A portrait painted with distorted proportions of a human is noticeable and hard to look at; this portrait is not. This portrait has it all right. It is very appealing along with being very enjoyable to view. It is especially inviting with the positioning of the individual leaning out of the frame towards the viewer. Great accomplished detail of the shirt, ring, bodily hair, eyes, skin tones and then a little well done freedom is taken with the way his hair is painted.

SILVER
“Where the Tall Ferns Grow” by Sandra Parrill
Not surprising a Naturist would know how a fern looks, but to paint a fern on top of a fern on top on a fern with each being a separate plant and knowing when enough is enough takes talent. The interesting tree enhances the visual experience and is necessary for the vertical composition. The small size had to be challenge, but is perfect for viewing this section of a cool green forest.

BRONZE
“Remembering Giverny” by Margie Moss
Lush, lush, lush from top to bottom and side to side is the best description of this painting. This work couldn’t have been accomplished with any less paint. Always a recognizable garden, but always interpreted differently by an Artist. This isn’t the first time this Artist has interpreted “the garden” but this version has the pond wonderfully large in the foreground, thus inviting the first look into the garden by its reflections in the pond.

VERDANT THEME
“Vivency” by Misty White
This painting personifies the theme of this show besides expressing the definition of her one word title. There is flowing verdant, layers of verdant, shades of verdant all stacked in this painting. The technique of poured paint to create this work required a certain amount of control to keep the paint colors somewhat individually crisp and not muddied. There is “input” of a little light color and gold as a supporting manner for a little breather and rest for the eyes.

HONORABLE MENTION
“Verdant Jazz” by Elizabeth Billings-Brook
Loose yet, tight; feeling the musician’s motions plus seeing he is “on fire” playing the music. I like the perspective of looking down on the subject. The highlights of the verdant color are perfectly placed.

HONORABLE MENTION
“Foreverness” by Kristin Girard
Big leaf, little leaf beautifully encased with special attention to the edges so not to lose the leaf’s texture. Obviously, a specially chosen leaf for its heart shape then expertise of mounting a stone on its top. Very nice wire twist clasp to complete the strand of stones especially dyed verdant which make up the necklace.

HONORABLE MENTION
“Harbinger of Spring” by Dianne Miller
Intrigued and curious of the why and how the decision was made to create this work of art. There had to be a design planned in advance for placement of the subtle colors which leads back to the title. Just enough color, just the right amount of pattern, just enough blank space. It could be an entertaining kaleidoscope or Petri dish.
