Judges Comments:
“We all remember this talented young woman and her insightful prose. Apart from the well-painted face and hands of the figure, the yellow jacket pulls at my attention. I remember admiring the jacket when I saw her. It is very painterly. The range of hues, values and intensities within the yellow are nice. Look at her left hand and jacket sleeve and the resulting shadow: this is my favorite part of the painting which serves as a way to draw attention to the secondary focus (the first, obviously the face) which is her hand in a very gestural, uplifting position that echoes her message.”
