Candlelit Quartet by Sarah Kidner
12" x 16" Oil
Judge's Comments: I chose this painting because I commend the artist on simplifying a moving target. I've tried painting musicians before and it is really hard. This artist got the impression of witnessing a sketch from a real-life experience. Breaking the shapes down to the simplest form is what painting from life is all about. - Susan Lyon
