While you’re sipping your hot Christmas coco, come and oogle the beautiful entries into the 2009 RESS Finishwork Exhibition!
People’s Choice voting among the membership is going on as we speak, and the Sponsors are picking those entries for their awards, too! Stay tuned for results on that web page sometime next week! And thank you a thousand times, Sponsors, for your generous support of this show! It’s so important to encourage our fellow artists and it helps to deepen the experience for the entrants. Thank you! I’m very proud to present this year’s Sponsors:
Jennifer Danza (http://danzaanddanza.com/wfframe.html) will provide the “Media that Elevates” Sponsor Award, and the award will be a beautiful glazed porcelain horse ornament!
Cheryl Farrens of Firehorse Designs (http://www.firehorsedesigns.org/) is awarding the “Hottest Finishwork Overall” award, and award will be something exciting from her kiln!
Morgen Kilbourn (http://www.one-horse.net/) will be giving “The Whole Enchilada” Sponsor Award, given to the entry combining the best use of colors, composition, lighting and other photographic aspects to flatter both the finish work and sculpture. The award is a Bitty Bosco!
DeeAnn Kjelshus (http://www.artbydeeann.com/) will offer the “Most Realistic Color for the Sculpture” award, and the award is her new and unreleased (as yet) medallion “Mare and Foal”!
Sheri Rhodes of Mountain View Studios (http://www.mountainviewstudios.net/) will be choosing the “Most Unique Use of Color” award, based on the most realistic implementation of pigments to create a unique interpretation of stated color; and the best artistic styling of stated color. The award is etched glassware, specifically, a glass plate with an etched horse design on it!
Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig of Minkiewicz Studios LLC (http://www.mink-studios.com/) is awarding the “Celebrating The Spirit of Equus” Sponsor Award, given to the finishwork entry that most brings out the spirit and essence of the sculpture. The award is an art glazed horse ornament!
