“Two Figures Standing"
Juror Comments
Alexandra N. Coon
Executive Director, Massillon Museum
"For First Place, I am pleased to present Tom Jackson’s Twp Figures Standing, an oil painting on canvas. What I was particularly taken by with this painting was the extent to which the detail really allows you to create a narrative even with the absence of background. If you’re able to look closely at the figures’ expression and body language, they denote something really interesting. It reflects contemporary life, and this sort of association with each of us being so tied to our cell phones. It’s a contemporary image of modern-day life painted in a semi-realistic way, but a way that I think begs the viewer to associate an interesting story."

Juror’s Comments:
"Chinatown is impeccably executed. From the meticulously rendered type, to the perfectly cast shadows and window reflections, to the magical detailing on the streetcar wires in the sky, this painting of a sunny and gritty street corner is a feast for the eyes."

First Place: "Window Box Gardener"
Juror Statement: "I was totally mesmerized by this painting.
Obviously, the artist’s use of color is most pleasing.
The more I studied the painting, the more I appreciated the overall design, use of shape dynamics, proportion and the artist’s aesthetic sense.
It is a memorable image.”
