SUMMER SIZZLE SALON James Swarthout - Blue Moon 2nd PLACE AWARD

watercolor 30x40 $900
Judge's Statement for 2nd place – James Swarthout’s Blue Moon – I found this minimal and delicate painting to be refreshing. The moon pictured brings the work out of pure abstraction, but the strong verticals make two intersecting horizons possible. This work exists somewhere between peaceful and ominous.
