Third Place

Jacqueline Bruce

Sunny Hydrangeas
Watercolor

Third Place: Jacqueline Bruce’s watermedia painting  “Hydrangeas” incorporates mixed media with a  subdued, suggestive palette. The painting has a wonderful display of large, round, pom-pom like flowerheads that can be read both as abstraction and representation. The work plays with other themes of opposites from the free application of washes to the more controlled colored linear contours.  It all adds up to a very compelling, sensitive work of quiet poetics.
