Judges comments on "Moonrise"

"This serene rendering of the twilight hour feels like an exhale. It captures the emotion and quiet beauty of the moment that shifts day to night, delivered sensitively through a deep understanding of the power of colour."

On the second placed Renee Sanson's "Red Tail Black Cockatoo" The judge said strong technique and delicate application underpins this work that brings forth the detail in soft layers, asking the viewer to spend time with the artwork.
