Juror's Notes: With one view of this painting, you see a beautiful floral painting, done by an experienced artist; at another, it almost becomes an abstraction. This is the quality that drew me to this work. The connection of petals and value shifts make this painting an exciting one to look at. The strong value in the bottom right corner is the decisive note that makes this work so well.
