Great analysis by judge Larry Moore, as he highlighted and studied along with the viewer these masterful works. I particularly appreciate his viewpoint--and intention--as a judge---in selecting a range of genres for the various awards: that abstracts, landscape, still life, etc. would be included in the Top 10. Judging artworks is a demanding job, especially if the judge goes beyond his personal preferences, and wishes to delve into the "behind-the-scenes" aspects of each work. And I notice that Larry said in closing that he'd "have to take a week off after this one!" Amazing, beautiful, accomplished and inspiring watercolor works in this show--thank you, artists, NWS and judge!
