Appreciation For Artists Who Are Willing to Judge Competitions

Art For Alaska Parks Top 30 Judging. Last night our two judges did a very appreciative and difficult job of selecting the 30 entries that will be displayed in the Art Show for the month of September at LaRoma Bakery on 99th Ave/Old Seward Highway in Anchorage Alaska.   We had a really good selection of entries from all over the Northwest this year.  I am so glad I was part of the committee running the show for the Alaska Artists Guild and not a judge.   I have come over the last two years  to really appreciate those artists that are willing to take the time and effort involved in selecting their choices.  I have seen the Judges truly agonize over some selections that did not make the top 30 that will be in the show.  The judges really do make a effort to pick the best based on Composition, Color and representation of the Parks the artist choose to paint.
