Remarks by the 2013 Jurors:
This year’s CPS exhibition is exceptionally strong containing both strong bold large scale works and small quite intimate pastels. Both a high level of personal artistic development and technical mastery of the medium are evident throughout the exhibited works. The works that stood out to this award juror were the pastels that successfully blended inspiration with skillful technical execution to create a work that went beyond the conventional.
– Jimmy Wright PSA President
It was my pleasure to have the opportunity to be an Awards Judge for the CPS Exhibition at the Slater Museum in Norwich, CT. Our objective in choosing the winners was to look for works that were out of the ordinary in spirit, design, composition and color. It was difficult to make these decisions since there are so many beautiful paintings in this exhibition!
