My Oil Painting Students are winners! Congratulations to Bill Briggs and Lisa Drake, for winning at the recent Arapahoe Community College Student Art Show. This show featured art students in the Workforce and Community Education Program at ACC. The show was judged by internationally known artist,
Dean Buhler.
Bill Briggs (right) won
First Place for his oil painting, "Lavender Sky." The judge liked his creative use of color and mood, and his simple, but strong, composition.
Bill has been a regular student in my classes for over 8 years, rarely missing a class or session. His persistence and determination have made him an inspiration to the class. This award was long overdue. Congratulations, Bill!
Lisa Drake won
Third Place for her painting, "Autumn Leaves." Although this is a fairly realistic painting, the judge liked the abstract quality in her composition and shapes.
Lisa is a fairly new student to my class, having only attended for a few 6-week sessions.
This is an analogous color study, a class assignment which allows for only three colors together on the color wheel plus black and white. She chose red orange, orange, and yellow orange, and varied them with black and white. Beautiful job, Lisa! Congratulations!
