Sam Hancock - Second Place

The Oregon Wildfires Diptych " The Dalles Motel"
Oil
24" x 36"
Award: Second Place
 
Juror Notes: A strongly executed diptych that uses just enough conventionally rendered form and light, it is a piece that is stark and foreboding. From the direct application of paint to the somewhat claustrophobic compositions, these are paintings with something to say.
