Jean K. Walker Award of Excellence for Second Place

Kathy Hornsby
Hull Reflection, Acrylic on Canvas

Judge’s Comments:  Kathy Hornsby’s acrylic painting "Hull Reflection" makes a statement merely by the absence of subject matter and referencing abstract forms using realism to trick the viewer. Such cleverness is rewarded as it becomes more evident as the subject matter is revealed in the title. The sophisticated visual impact holds your attention while the handling of the painting flows effortlessly across the canvas. The tight detail of the composition adds to the purposefulness of the work.
