This year’s judge is Michelle Richeson. “I had the honor to serve as the Creative Director for Jack Richeson and Company, creating magazine ads and designs for the company’s wide array of art supplies, instructional materials and artist’s furniture. I also assisted in the production of videos for Jack Richeson’s, “Famous Painter Films”. This event is sponsored by Sargento, The Sartori Company, and Van Horn Auto. This event is coordinated by artist Dan Rizzi of Plymouth.
These are the three paintings I submitted for the painting competition. Amber Fields was painted near County Road M and Hillside Road. the colors of the fields drew my attention with the church in the distance. Midday Light was painted near highway 23 and Meadowlark Road. The sparkling sunlight on the water caught my eye and I had to paint the scene. Herrling Sawmill was painted at the Wade House historic site in Greenbush. The mill, alongside the Mullet River, is one of the state’s only working water powered sawmills. The mill features a working vertical muley saw, popular in the middle of the 19th century, which saws with an up and down motion.
