Upon seeing Morning on the Rio Grande, Bill Gallen, Judge of Awards, shared his thoughts: “It was a dead give-away. The graphics are strong with an established light and shadow pattern that drew me into the painting from 50 feet away. The juxtaposition of the silhouetted shadow shape with the lit-up cliffs and foreground is powerful. The play of cool and warm colors in both the shadow and the light makes for a compelling composition, the variety of paint thickness adding interest.”
