Gallery - 2014 Award Winners
Juror Robert Semans is a meticulous and well regarded painter. While he paints still lifes and landscapes, his true love is portraits. He has been commissioned to paint many famous people including Gray Davis. He was trained in the classical style and is especially interested in color theory. Recently he has become more interested in some new contemporary styles and is very open to new ideas.
Juror's comments on the show: Tremendous variety and a lot of excellent work. Very good handling of color in many of the paintings. Congratulations to all who participated in this show!
