SCAPES Winners
First Place
Heart Broken
by
Michael Freeman
Judges Comments:
The title reminds me of buildings in Australia. The artist’s working of the medium is well handled and the result is an overall harmonious painting with good design and draftsmanship. I think this is a great pastel.
Second Place
Sunlit by Lyn Mellady
Judges Comments:
The artist has captured a fantastic atmosphere with the painting of the breaking wave and a dark contrast of a storm as the background. The pastel is well handled especially the gentleness of the contrast of the sunlit sand in the foreground.
Highly Commended
Leading Me Home by Patricia Taylor
Third Place
Outback Servo by Geoffrey May
Judges Comments:
The artist has captured a common sight in the country with the character of the shed and surrounds with little color using the evening sky to create the atmosphere. The pastel has a looseness in the application which adds to the subject.
Commended
