5TH ANNUAL SCENES FROM THE PARK

August 7- September 21

About the Exhibition

Juror's Statement

Bravo to all the artists who came out to paint last weekend. You have created an overall impression of beauty of this beautiful and special park.  It is always interesting to see a group of plein air artists working at the same site because the interpretations are so vastly different.  I want to thank Sandy Libertini for allowing me to judge this beautiful exhibition!  One word of caution, just because a big red water tower is out there, it shouldn’t be added just to say Audubon Grange.  You must consider the scale of that tower in relation to your subject!

1st Place: Linda Shepard Scioto Audubon Park, August 2025

Quiet. I can feel the heat, humidity & bugs!

2nd Place:  Eric Layne for Path to Summer

Solid drawing skills.  Lots of straight lines in this which are varied in edge quality.  The artist captured the quality of an overcast day with no strong light shadow.

3rd Place:  Kara Razek for Break in the Weather

Both of these artists’ paintings have a beautiful handling of edges. The winning painting takes a hard-edged subject and softens the scenes. I feel I can see the artist working.

Peoples' Choice Award: TBD
