Award of Merit

'Dark Road'

(c)2010 Ruth Hunter

oil pastel on mat board

'Dark Road' is the painting that kicked off the start of my recent series A Sense Of Place.  The painting has won an Award of Merit at the 2nd Annual Savannah Art Association's Arrivals and Departures Show at our new gallery space in the Savannah/Hilton Head Airport.  Here are the Judge's comments:

Judge Marcia Neblett said: The simplicity and texture in this piece is profound. The technique is rich and compels in its layering. It seems to tell a personal story and that is special to see.

 

Judge Ahren Wert said: Highly creative texture adds to the design. Simplistic composition adds a much deeper feeling of division.
