Many thanks to everybody who voted. Out of 31 pictures there were four that were clear of the field, but one very clear winner. Congratulations, Sue!

​

First Place.     #24    Sue Williams          Abstract Landscape      22 points

A very powerful piece reminiscent of early German Expressionism such as the vivid landscapes of Emil Nolde. A real favourite with OVAS members who voted.

​

Second Place. #4     Carolyn Barker       Vantage Point               16 points

A charmingly pensive composition and a very popular public choice.

​

Third Place.    #7      Mike Stevens         Yellow Field #2             12 points

A looser and more expressive direction from Mike? A wonderfully rich palette, as always, but an exciting feeling of movement in the grasses and trees.

​

Fourth Place.  #19    Linda Hampson     Secretary Bird               11 points

A hyper-realist portrait of a very extraordinary bird. Amazing!

​

So here, in bigger format, are all four:
