Juror's Note: In this painting, the artist clearly knows how to get the viewers’ attention. The complex form and structure of a flower can easily be overdone. However, this artist has chosen to prioritize the perfect amount of the foreground flower, while allowing the audience to get lost in the looser, more painterly areas of the painting.
