First Prize

 

Knowing Myself

by Julie Gilroy

JUDGES COMMENTS

Bursting with colour and shapes seemingly in mid-air drew me to this artwork. The artist has a great sense of space and colour, and a lot of patience.


Second Prize

Transition

by Beverley Tainton

JUDGES COMMENTS

Wonderful sense of space. This artist has a confident stroke – it is the freedom that no doubt the artist enjoys, as do I.

 


Third Prize

Memories Fade

by Mark Gawne

JUDGES COMMENTS

I like the composition and the use of just the right amount of abstraction. The artist focussing on the left side flower is brilliant.


Highly Commended

Botanic

by Gabe Parker

JUDGES COMMENTS

A well balanced, interesting piece of art and skilfully delivered. I like the roughness of the edges and the natural colour of the metal.


Abstraction

by James Randall

JUDGES COMMENTS

The artist made a brilliant piece of digital art. I was drawn toward it, and it is unique; which all artists desire.


The Three Queens Have Arrived

by Tim Klein

JUDGES COMMENTS

This painting fascinated me, the sculptural elements containing a landscape, or just colourful stripes perhaps. This artist has a very good technique that allows you to enter through the blueness and into something else.



Fellows Selection

Open to eligible RQAS Members. Selected by Dr Kay Kane FRQAS

Trunk

by Glenda Markwell

SELECTORS COMMENTS

I was immediately drawn to this work. The rich glowing colours, composition, mark making and contrasting paint application does not disappoint on close inspection. Beautiful, free accentuation of silhouette serves to help hold the composition together.


Peoples Choice

Train!
