Judges Comment:

Often The landscape is so compelling in itself that it is hard to see how it might be abstracted. This beautiful piece reminds us, without excessive detail, of our local woods in fall when bare limbs and golds abound. Using freedom of marks and simple verticals, the artist knew which branches to expose, and just how to layer the colors to evoke the leaves as they turn color and fall. The very low horizon supports the majesty of the tall , thin trees. The use of blue green in the understory is both bright feel of woods at that time of year.
