Judge’s comments are in italics.Â
Awards of Excellence given by the Ocean Springs Art Association Three awards given for “EXCELLENCE IN ANY MEDIUM” ……………………. $300
- “Waiting” by Dr. Rhonda Iris Richmond
Harmony between warmth and cold colors used in the painting exudes tranquility in such a way one feels they are in a magical place. Softened edges remind one of twilight, such an impressionistic delight.Â
- “Egret Evening” by Don SchiffnerÂ
The use of chiaroscuro and a muted palette allows the light to illuminate the egret, a golden highlight upon the log prepares one for a dynamic strike from bird. Classically arranged, rich in depth and design.Â
- “Promise of Things Hoped For” by Roseanne McKenney Lovely texture of lace showing intricate design in total contrast against muted rectangles in the background area. The eyes of the subject show its soul and lots of life.Â
Award of Excellence for “Excellence for 3-D Work” given by Ocean Springs Art Association…………………………………………………………………….. $300Â
- “Gift of Tides” by Lisa FazzioÂ
Unique interaction of wall sconce using elements of the sea. Matted under glazing of corals.
2021 Special Awards Given by Award Sponsors
BOB CARTER PAINTING AWARD ………………………………………………. $500 “A Landscape Award of Excellence Depicting the Beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.”
118. “Mississippi Marshes” by Vielsa Harding – Soft breezy pastel, their colors reflect a true southern day. Composition moving, use of darks and lights bring such realism. Don’t know whether I need to get my fishing pole or a mint julep.Â
BECKY ADAMS FEDER AWARD………………………………………………………… $500
249. “Lowering Trawl Doors” by Ed Martel – With so many directional lines the artist has shown the determination of these men. Every line is leading us to the right side of the painting, the subtle color and rendering of this design are exceptional as if making one being prepared for the day…it’s a workday. Beautifully done.Â
LONE SAILOR U.S.N. AWARD……………………………………………………………. $500 Given for “Technical Skill and Mastery of Glaze Techniques in Hand-Built 3D Ceramics with Functional or a Non-Functional Sculpture”Â
- “Coastal Seashore” by Syliva Bosco – Depiction of the ocean wave using glaze to create the intricate colors of the ocean. The sculpturing additions captivate the essence of the subject theme. The movement of the sea life and birds spiraling upwards from the pebbles keeps one’s eye in perpetual movement.Â
ON CALL MEDICAL CLINIC AWARD………………………………………………….. $500 Given for “Exceptional 3D Sculpture”Â
- “Nectar Buffet” by Kit Fulton – Excellent execution of 3D medium, organization of sculptural components in believable arrangement captivating the viewer to study more deeply.Â
JOHN DAVID VIALET MEMORIAL AWARD ……………………………………….. $400 Given by the Gautier-Dugger family for “Academic Work in Any Media (excluding photography) Taken Directly From Life”Â
- “Leaving Eden” by Roseanne McKenney – Reminiscent of neoclassic Madonna with roses, its rich colors of reds and the symbolism of the veil are conducive of period work of the 1800s.Â
WALTER ANDERSON AWARD…………………………………………………………… $300 Given by his family for “Expressing the Relationship Between Man and Nature with the Use of Watercolor”Â
- “Harbor View” by Cissy McCabe Quinn – Calm and chaotic, the background seems to be pushing the white boat in the direction of the viewer as if it is escaping danger. Strong use of elements, principles of design, a successful rendition of such a small work.Â
AMY CHENEY KLINE AWARD……………………………………………………………. $300 Given by her family for “Exceptional Work in Any Medium Celebrating the Exuberant Creative Spirit”Â
- “At Sunset… Tree Becomes Tree of Souls #1“ by Debra Baldinger – Outstanding pencil rendering the control of darks and lights, very sensitive in orchestration… the ability to hide images within the drawing was fabulous.
BILLIE AND LEN LUEB MEMORIAL AWARD……………………………………… $300 For “Outstanding Work of Art in Any Medium”Â
- “Dream Horses #2” by Breck Whitworth – Sculpture depicts the Pueblo technique reminiscent of Maria Martinez using wood instead of clay. Horses with textured backgrounds created an illusion malachite. Exceptionally accurate.Â
ALEX NORTH MEMORIAL AWARD……………………………………………………. $300 Given by Don & Sandra Schiffner for “Photograph That Best Depicts the Mississippi Gulf Coast”
168. “The Postmaster” by David Salters – Regal pelican, stately pose, yet giving the illusion that the bird will fly at any moment. The colors on the pilings remind one of a watercolor painting making this totally apropos for a seabird.Â
KATHY LOUNSBERRY AWARD………………………………………………………….. $250 Given for “Excellence in Art in Any Media”Â
- “Oh So Lovely” by Barbara Brown – Obvious knowledge of watercolor techniques, loose style shows the delicate flower petals. Very nice composition.Â
DUNCAN & SHANNON MORAN MEMORIAL AWARD………………………. $250 Given by their daughter Connie Moran for “Depicting the Flora and Fauna of the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Any Media”Â
- “Quietly, I Listened” by Sandra Schiffner – Cool colors used in landscape and water give harmony to this composition. Dynamic control of warmth on duck’s bill directs viewers to see the lower animals. Also, the sea pods repeat the shape and color of the duckbill. Very impressive.Â
PRESTWOOD PORTRAITURE AWARD ………………………………………………. $250 Given for “Exceptional Portrait in Any Medium”Â
- “Patches” by Patt Odom – The subdued palette is spot on for the decoration shown in work bold lines used with the trodden down position makes a statement.
PETER ANDERSON MEMORIAL POTTER’S AWARD………………………….. $200 Given by Shear Water Pottery for “Exceptional Beauty and Uniqueness in Pottery and Glaze”Â
- “Cordially Yours” by Gail Cheney – Use of texture and repetition of pattern as well as the use of under glazes and a subtle palette creating directional movement in a delightful Saki/ cordial set results in a dynamic work of art.Â
JOAN ARMSTRONG AWARD ……………………………………………………………. $200 Given for “Excellence in Any Medium”Â
- “Passing Shower” by Leslie Dobbins – Good interpretation of three plane landscapes, subtle colors, strong use of visual brush strokes, and the successful asymmetrical placement of the boat. This engages a memory of a place and an impressionistic style.Â
BIENVILLE ANIMAL MEDICAL CENTER AWARD………………………………. $200 Given for “Exceptional Acrylic”Â
- “Abstraction in Blue” by Sandra Halat – Bold color blocks, complimentary with colors juxta positioning pushing negative and positive areas with energetic brushstrokes of black. Excellent composition.Â
DOCTOR’S DREAMS AWARD ……………………………………………………………. $200 Given for “Photograph of any Non-Mississippi Location that Reflects the Character of the Place.”Â
- “Sacred Doorways” by Kenneth Groue – Powerful monochromatic photo with transcending focal points through rectangular planes making the viewer strain to see beyond the pedestal. Intricate oriental motif frames the work with elegance for the simplicity of the photograph.Â
SUSIE GREENE MEMORIAL AWARD ………………………………………………… $200 “Juror’s Award for Excellence in Any Media” Given by Her FamilyÂ
- “Three Dog Day” by Patt Odom – The use of collage contour depicts strong representation of hunting dogs. The direction of their eyes forces the viewer to look where they are gazing. Asymmetrical balance was done very well, and in my opinion, very successful.
LATOUR AWARD ……………………………………………………………………………….. $200 Given for “Exceptional Landscape in Any Medium”Â
- “Such a Perfect Day” by Vicki Lueb – Classically arranged play of light and leaves giving the illusion of sun reflecting its warmth. Perfect composition.Â
REYNOLDS FAMILY AWARD…………………………………………………………….. $175 Given for “Exceptional Black and White Photography”Â
- “Willet in Fog” by Kenneth Groue – Less is more. A formal pose of a seabird is countered with an impressionistic shadow using the large area of negative space works to focus the viewers on the majesty of the solitary subject.Â
EXCEPTIONAL WORK IN GLASS, WOODCARVING OR TURNING, STONEÂ CARVING, OR METAL WIRE SCULPTURE AWARD…………………………….. $150 Given by ArtistviewÂ
- “Where Lilies Bloom” by Sam Tucker – Highly stylized with oriental flair, each component in its relationship to each other is balanced perfectly yet the stems create an undulating upward movement showing that this is not a stagnant sculpture. The visual triangle of the sea life pulls one’s interest to continually sweep the sculpture.Â
FORT BAYOU WINE AND SPIRITS AWARD ………………………………………. $150 Given for “Exceptional Multi-Media”Â
- “All in a Dream” by Mary Hardy – Impressive mix of photographic images and marks in the composition of plain. Repetitive images create a fantasy of design. The incorporation of dandelions reinforces the marks the artist is trying to draw attention to. This piece is very good quality in its interpretation.Â
MAMA’S FLOWERS AWARD……………………………………………………………… $150 Given in Honor of Bessie Lynn for “Flowers Depicted in Any Medium”
233. “Oh Happy Day” by Pat Abernathy – Neutral foreground sweeps the viewer’s eye to the bouquet via directional stems leading one’s eyes to analogous zinnias. The use of circular shapes also creates a visual path for the viewer’s eye to circle the artwork.
MONDAY MORNING PAINTERS’ AWARD…………………………………………. $150 Given for “Excellence in Art”Â
- “I Thought I Saw a Paramotor” by Herb Wiley – A snapshot in an outing, vivid summer colors, activities of people show mostly all using cell phones. Very whimsical. Division of foreground, mid, and background is extremely obvious. The only movement within the painting is the ultralight.Â
NEGROTTO’S FRAME AND ART AWARD…………………………………………… $150 Given for “Exceptional 3-D”Â
- “Just Horsing Around” by Baba Scaturro – The sculpture has an oriental inflection yet is whimsical. Control of glazes seems to be shinos handled excellently. Each animal’s form compliments the other. The craftsmanship of the sculpture is master level.Â
WILLIAM F. PONTIUS MEMORIAL AWARD ……………………………….. $150 Given by his wife Mollie for “Exceptional Mixed Media”Â
“I Love Thee, Little Dog” by Anita Johnson – Rich in textural imagery, more monochromatic strengthens the design. The use of the directional line all over work carries the viewer’s eye to the focal point of the dog. The feel of this collage work is ephemeral.Â
DICKIE ROBERTS AWARD…………………………………………………………………. $150 Given for “Exceptional Black and White Photography”Â
- “John, Get Off of my Cloud” by Bob Effinger – Upside down, delight with reflection, a parallel world, mesmerizing photo. Excellent composition.Â
THE SISTERS AWARD ………………………………………………………………………. $150 Given in memory of Maria and Yogi by the family for “Exceptional Color Photograph”
212. ”Biloxi Bay Sunset in Autumn” by Lori Carter Subtle. Creation of linear lines in multiple locations converging in one location of the colored sunset. Tranquility is conveyed in this composition.Â

We will keep you updated through our OSAA Newsletter and OSAA Facebook page. Please review the 2020 Prospectus as you begin planning for your entries.
