Jean K. Walker Award of Excellence for First Place

Holland Wentz Etheridge
Ice on Lake Maury, Watercolor

Judge’s Comments: At first glance this image appeared to be a photograph, so this spoke volumes to the mastery of the artist’s painting skills from the start. The visual impact is even more compelling by limitation of the palette color and creating a tighter focus on the power of the image. The elegant use of shadow and light pulsating across the painting added to the rich, lush composition that resonates effortlessly.
