There are so many beautiful paintings in this show. Here are the parameters that I used in my selections:
Artistic Statement: I looked for a point of view, an editorialization of the scene depicted.
 
Light: Does the painting create a sense of "being there".
 
Craftsmanship: Was the painting thoughtfully and carefully executed.
 
Clarity: Was the painting organized interestingly and intelligently.
 
Sincerely
Ray Roberts
