BEST IN SHOW
Look What I Can Do! by Lana Burnett
9x12 inches, Pastels on toned Pastelmat paper
This piece made more than one of jurors exclaim, "Awww!" out loud. On top of the over-the-top cuteness factor, the drawing is expertly crafted with detail that is energetic and yet soft, like the subject. It feels like we can know this dog by the way the fur is rendered, and it feels like those soul-filled eyes know us too.
From the artist, "A cute dog showing some skills."
OVERALL RUNNER UP
George and Jack, by Cher Pruys
7x13 inches, Acrylic Print
From the artist, "Two peas in a pod." And what a cute pod!
The placement of that foot in between their noses is adorable. The composition draws you in and gently spins you around. The detail work in the fur is pristine. It's an all-out pleasure to look at.
ARTIVISM AWARD
Seven Days New, by Shawna Hinkel
20x30 inches, Photography
From the artist, "Western Lowland Gorilla and her son."
