미국은 Plein Air 잡지사에서 주관하여 전국 각지에 있는 화랑들이 각기 선정한 우수 작품을 모아서 일년에 한번씩
Plein Air Art Salon Competition 이라는 대회를 열어 우수작품들을 수상하는 행사를 갖는 모양이다.
이번에 Hagan Fine Art Gallery 라는 곳에서 선정한 작품들이 Plein Air Weekly mail 에 실렸는데 Hagan Gallery 의
오너가 작품을 선정 이유도 읽어 보면서 어떤 작품들이 선정되는지 경향도 알 수 있어 여기 옮긴다.

1st Place Overall: The Edge
"I responded to [‘The Edge’] at first glance," said juror Karen Hagan. "It has a movement that’s very exciting, taking the eye around and around the painting. When I’m jurying a show, I don’t look at titles or even size. In this painting, I saw great composition and sense of place paired with varied brush work. I loved the depth of field and the foreground detail leading to the gray mistiness of the background. Mostly it’s the movement that the artist captured that got my eye! It’s an exciting painting, one I’d like to see every day in my home."
2nd Place Overall: There’s a Story
There’s a Story"
"This one jumped out at me and initially I gave it an award within its category," Karen said. "But when I looked back through the entries, this one was such a stunning work and had such engaging composition and feeling that I had to move its award up. I liked the placement of the sunset and again the brushwork had such variety in hard edges and soft edges. It’s like a good song. So much to see, and unforgettable."
3rd Place Overall: Sunflowers and Sunlight, for Ukraine
"Sunflowers and Sunlight, for Ukraine"
"This painting exuded so much joy when I saw it!" Karen said. "It was an immediate love affair with the loose ‘unfinishedness’ of it that made it perfect. Sunflowers can be hard to paint and often are overpainted with too much detail. This painting made me happy and I felt the artist’s confidence when they laid down the strokes."
