Rose Award: Third Place
Juror's Note: A strong focal point, smart color choices, and strong values made this painting one of my favorites. This artist clearly knows the priority of their elements. The vase, which is the connecting element in this painting, so often can be over worked. However, I see no wasted brush strokes convincing me of the transparency of the glass. The same is true with the roses. By bunching the flowers, it invites the viewer to stay within the area of dominance.
