Remarks by the 2012 Jurors:
The Connecticut Pastel Society has done it again! The overall quality of this show is on a high level. A significant number of the award winning works were deeply personal, poetic, and even magical. Pastel lends and bends itself to match the vision and touch of each individual artists’s vision. Brava and Bravo!!
– Sigmund Abeles PSA Hall of Fame Master Pastelist & National Academician
What a pleasure it is to see the medium of pastel used for a wide variety of subjects employing a myriad of techniques. It is a testament to the unique quality of this beautiful medium and a pleasure to behold.
