Carlton S. Abbott
Ahoskie Farm House, Pencil & Pastel

Judge’s Comments:  Carlton Abbott’s pencil & pastel "Ahoskie Farm House" is an architectural depiction that seems to convey a compassionate nostalgic story of a dilapidated farmhouse whose history is kept alive by the artist’s memory. The media of a pencil drawing creates an image that is highly detailed and balanced with the addition of pastel for subdued color. This prominent image is handled with extreme care and virtuosity.
