"Something Wicked This Way Comes"

Judged by Laretta Small- Zamora

“as an artist my goal is to lead the observer into an adventure using their imagination and curiosity.”

“I am very impressed by the quality and diversity of the work in this EAA exhibition. I really enjoyed looking at the work and was challenged to try and select the awardees out of so much interesting work. All the artists are to be applauded. Nice work!”.

Gold Award

'Impish Companion’ by Timothy Kline 
“This artwork is fun, it has some realism, the shape of it and the open work tickles my fancy. I think it’s bright and in a way it’s kind of serious. If you really spend a lot of time looking, it looks like someone is being supported and I think that’s important, the effect of the polished stone at the bottom I think is a great addition.”

Silver Award

'Playtime' by Liora Laperle
“It’s just a wonderful abstract piece with what seem to be animals, all the wildlife and the butterfly and the contrasting colors. I like the dark and the lights in the soft colors. It’s a mix of so many interesting elements and it all comes together very well. The movement is wonderful. It makes me want to know who those people.”

Bronze Award

‘Blue House' by John Kowan
“It’s so simply done but so beautifully done and has a quality of mystery. I love watercolor and I’m assuming this is pen, it’s just delicious. Those shutters convey some sense of the mystery. It could be anywhere in the world, but it makes you want to go there makes you want to explore, and I really enjoy the technique.”

Commendations

"Sadness"

Peggy Stokes

“I enjoy collage and sometimes it can be very difficult. This looks like the Artist has done the work and then separated it and re-composed it a series of beautiful faces, but they all have a look of mystery about them. It makes you want to know what the artist is thinking and what these women are thinking, some have tears, some have just totally uninterested looks. I like the colors as well. It’s a good pallet.”

"Skull + Sunflower"

Erica Vidal

“This piece looks as if it is painted in oil on metal and that caught my attention. The skull on top of the sunflower makes me wonder what the Artist was thinking, what they were trying to say but they’re both very beautifully rendered and it’s an interesting fun piece. Almost looks like the skull has eyes.”
