Joe Basilone
Leaving the Island, Oil & Acrylic

Judge’s Comments:  Joe Basilone’s oil & acrylic painting "Leaving the Island" impressionist style of painting illustrates glorious windswept brush and knife strokes that evoke a flurry of energy, twisting while turning within the painting. The deserted landscape seems to convey an emotional distance speaking volumes to a sense of abrupt departure.
