Among The Sierra Nevada Mountains after Albert Bierstadt. Albert Bierstadt’s beautifully crafted paintings played to a hot market in the 1860s for spectacular views of the nation’s frontiers.

2nd Place Winner | #137 Barbados Pearl Tutu By Deb Miller
28×22 Original Pastel on Specialty Paper for $200.00
Edgar Degas experimented with new techniques and revitalized neglected media such as pastel, gouache, and even distemper (used for painting scenery) in an attempt to transcend what were new appearing to be the limitation of oil paint. Abandoning oil means he could paint rapidly on a paper support which could be infinitely extended by sticking separate pieces of paper together as needed. In another vain he was experimenting with alternatives to the traditional gilt frames. Having revolutionized the framing of subjects within the composition, he now addressed himself to the immediate environment of the picture, even including the decor and lighting of the exhibition room himself.
In his last years his eyesight, which had troubled him all his life, began to fail. He kept going until his death, turning increasingly to sculpture to express himself and producing, ironically, in his last years, his most impressionistic and colorful works in pastel.

3rd Place Winner | #157 Forest Edge Etude By Scott McManus
14×18 Original Oil on Canvas for $375.00
What makes impressionism so powerful in art is the emphasis on light and color. My many years of studying the works of Monet had a strong influence on my style. This winter scene was perfect subject to play with light that sparkles on the trees and snow covered forest edge as Monet might have rendered it.

Mike Schroeder. Mike‘s first interest in art as a child was copying newspaper comics and attempting to do portraits of family members. During high school he pursued a more technical aspect of drawing in drafting classes. Mike’s first year at The University of North Texas was spent as an architecture major but his interest shifted to advertising design and drawing and painting.
He began his career working for Point Communications as a production artist. After one year he moved to Eisenberg Pannell, and worked there as a graphic designer for three years, and then Pirtle Design for five years. Both design firms were nationally known and highly acclaimed. In 1986 he started his own design and illustration studio where he began specializing in water color illustration.

One of Mike’s illustration assignments was to paint oil portraits of pro football and baseball stars for Donruss Trading Card Company. Five years and 160 portraits later, Mike’s new passion for oil painting and realism led him to pursue a fine art career. Today Mike enjoys the challenge and excitement of matching color, value, shapes and edges, while painting from life.
Mike currently teaches at The Ft. Worth Academy of Fine Arts in addition to teaching privately at Davis Foundry Gallery in the Bishop Arts District.
