We welcomed back Tom and Suzanne Shea as our guest judges for our 2025 Show. They awarded top honors of 1st, 2nd and 3rd Places at our reception and awards ceremony the evening of May 27, 2025. Tom and Suzanne reminded us that judging is ultimately subjective, but they considered three factors in their choices: technique, individuality/creativity and elements (color, composition). Two Honorable Mentions were also determined by votes from the public and the other from our membership.
Last year, our judges recognized these winners:
| 1st Place “Cool Summer Evening” by Jerry Higgins (oil) | 2nd Place “Shelter from the Storm” by Laurie Runnoe (watercolor) | 3rd Place “The Earth Whispers” by Kathy Gebauer (watercolor) |
Ballots cast by the general public and our own membership resulted in two deserving Honorable Mentions.
| Honorable Mention – Members’ Choice “Reflection” by Tim Savino | Honorable Mention – People’s Choice “Amazon Eyes” by Ronny Trabea |
