Fountain Hills Annual Juried Art Show Awards

January 7th, 2019 / Judge’s Statement by Lili Anne Lauren

Honorable Mention: ( Jake ) oil on canvas, by Shelly Hackett

“This painting tells a story with nice loose brushwork of a young cowboy who appears to be surveying His cattle.

I like that the work is not overly rendered which gives the work a casual appearance reflective of the cowboy’s equally casual stance. The sunglasses give it a contemporary vibe.”

“ I can actually hear the movement of these horses down the path. The unusual viewpoint of this scene

Strikes me as interesting, exciting and challenging!
