JUROR: Lynn Ferris

JUROR STATEMENT: “When judging a painting, I look for three things: A strong design(composition), technical competency, and a compelling narrative. Of these three, acompelling narrative carries the most weight. It is also the most elusive. Narrative isnot a painting’s backstory, but rather what you feel when you look at it.”

AWARDS:

First: $350

Second: $250

Third: $200

8 Merit Awards: $35 each

Quick Tip for entering shows from Lynn Ferris:When students ask, “How do I decide which painting to enter?” here’s a suggestion I make: Lineall of your possibilities up in a room you seldom use. Don’t look at them for a couple of days. Gointo the room again when the light is somewhat muted (dusk is a good time). See which paintingyour eye goes to first. That’s the one I’d choose.
