Gouache
2nd Place: Works on paper
Chance consuming fire has enveloped the gnarled structure of the venerable cadelle.
The conflagration allowing a glimpse of precious life and strength of this tree expressed in a flame, wind, and light illumination of the tree’s spirit as testament to ultimate performance.
Strong, powerful work. Captures theme well. Great lighting and palette choices.
