Juried Art Show 2008

Dean Peters welcome to Spirit of the Hills

Claus receiving first place finish

Second Place: Erwin Rummel, “Corn & Green Peppers”
Judge’s Comments: “The painting is homespun; almost like a tapestry. It’s pure dimensional texture. It’s equally rendered all way round with perfect professionalism.”

Award of Merit: Mary McEwan, “Row of Trees”
Judge’s Comments: “The impressionism gives the feeling of a tapestry with just enough realism to make you want to see things in the painting such as the boats or tents.”

Third Place: Gundi Viviani-Finch, “Highly Sprung”
Judge’s Comments: “I love the texture of the piece with metal and glass. I also love the smooth glass circle against the crisp glass edges. Overall, I love the feeling of construction.”

First Place: Jennifer Gibson, “Luna”
Judge’s Comments: “I love the overall composition of the photograph; especially the textured colour and historical mood. It’s almost like sculpture.”

Award of Merit: Paul Portelli, “Emerge”
Judge’s Comments: “The sculpture conveys humour, i.e. the feeling of a bird coming out of an egg, looking at the world and laughing. It’s being born like a blackbird baked in a pie”.

Award of Merit: Russ Moore and Sue Williams, “Smoke”
Judge’s Comments: “The mood is melancholy. The photo conveys a simple life in the country. Makes me want to go and sit by the fire.”

Award of Merit: Mary Weilandt, “Sparkle”
Judge’s Comments: “The lily pads are gothically beautiful. They look crystallized, like ice. A great composition.”
