"Old Tracks at the Commons"
From the jurors -- This plein air piece beautifully captures the essence of the outdoor scene in High Bridge with a fresh, spontaneous energy that draws the viewer in. Through confident brushwork and thoughtful observation, the work conveys both a moment in time and a deep connection to place. Its success lies not just in technical execution, but in the emotion and immediacy it evokes—hallmarks of strong plein air painting. Small but mighty little piece. Upon closer viewing the painting exploded with color! Wonderful.

From the jurors -- We were amazed at the command of the watercolor medium this artist has. She made the cloudy sky and the street wet with rain very believable. There are great accents in red as well. It was refreshing seeing a painting on a rainy day challenging the originality of subject matter in a new way.
