Oaxaca Gold by Ned Mueller
12 x 16 Oil
Judge's Comments: I love this beautifully painted study in sunlight. The few well placed darks anchor this predominately high keyed composition. I also like the vertical elements in the composition which seem to frame the subject. This painting is a good example of outdoor painting where the artist has manipulated the key to great effect! gold indeed! - Robert Lemler
