The Sunflower Painting: I love drawing flowers, they're my favorite thing to use in a painting. I liked the deep, rich, colors in the sunflowers, and the dark red background makes the painting feel warm.
Janis Joplin: This painting is full of spirit and energy like Janis. I chose gray tones to make it feel like it's history. The lyrics are what made her so famous, which is why I included them in the background. This painting was painted and given to my sister.
Interior Exterior Flowers: This painting was almost finished as something completely different. I stopped, and scrapped it because I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I should have. The colors in these two flowers really pop. The bright yellow next to the deep red draws everything together. Although they are simple flowers, the colors make the painting.
The Judge was Mark Dilena of Alden, New York.
