HONORABLE MENTION
Richeson75 International Small Works Show
Judges Comments:
“I was drawn to the well-balanced and zig-zagging movement of this composition. The subtlety of temperature shifts in light and shadow rewards the viewer’s close inspection. What kept me coming back was the organic surface movement found in each brushstroke and stacked impasto.”

Judge's Comments: "So Begins the Green has a beautiful harmony of greens creating a relaxing feeling of a warm morning or evening light. With a variety of repeated light and dark triangular shapes that break up the pictorial plane combined with touches of impasto add to the aesthetics of this marvelously rendered landscape."
