Guild of Charlotte Artist:
I was struck by the general sensitivity of the work submitted to the Annual Guild of Charlotte Artist show. The Artist and works that I selected for the best of the show shared a few common attributes; Richness of picture plane, maturity of composition, formal discipline shown in medium and emotional impact of subject as it was enhanced by the hand of the artist. I would encourage the entire community of artist that contributed to this years show to continue honing their craft while being careful not to get comfortable in their approaches. What dwells beyond the "safe" is the discovery of the unknown and there in is the creative process. Best of luck to all and thank you to the guild for this opportunity to be a part of this 2009 show. ~ Edward Burnam

Image size: 12 x 17 inches

Medium: pastel on paper

Judith Cutler: "At The Docks" Pastel
"This piece is soft in color and rich in texture, the monochromatic approach Judith has selected has established the overall emotion for this work.
Judith has shown a mature approach to color and texture that leaves me with
a feeling of a cool enticement. "

2nd Place: Marilyn Ranson

"Marlyn has made me nostalgic for the countryside of Upstate New York. The handling of the light in this Watercolor landscape recreates the transitional feeling of morning to day. "

"Irish House" ~ watercolor

3rd Place: Carl Shealy, Jr.

"Icy Shadows" ~ Photography
"This photograph intrigued me.. I was left wondering so many things.. C.
Stealy activated my imagination and invited me to dwell in the cool shadows of the day."

Drawing Award: Luz Aveleyra

"Luz Aveleyra has taken an often abuse medium and transformed it into a rich and subtle form of expression. The formal attributes of this drawing are outstanding, value ranges, textures and composition. The overall sensitivity leave the viewer satisfied with a simple and mundane subject."

"Ponchos" ~ Colored pencil

Judith Cutler ~ "Black & White Eggs" ~ Charcoal & Conte'
