2nd PLACE IN OILS

Richeson 75 Figure/Portrait International Competition 2011

From Awards Judge Everett Raymond Kinstler

"I selected "Experimenting" by Ron Sanders, as I felt it was a well-painted, unusual pose.
The addition on the floor of the paint tubes and metal jar added an intelligent compositional note. 
The draftsmanship was sound and the overall color quality was strong.
The artist told a "portrait story" and the tattoos suggested the model's personality.
A convincing painting."
