Juror Notes: Something magical can happen, as it does in this beautiful piece, when the paint follows how we see. The hand of the artist on full display, the paint dances; the form of the figure emerging from a flutter of mark, color, and value; reaching a crescendo in the shimmering hues on the volume of the head and face.
