Judge's Comments: I am immediately engaged by the subject’s direct gaze. Set against an abstract background, the subject is rendered in an impressionistic flurry of well placed marks. Strong value contrasts and brightly colored accents keep ones eye moving around the composition. The vigorous brushwork gives this painting it’s evident vitality. - Robert Lemler
