San Marino, CA 91108 www.californiaartclub.org Bay View 16x20 Oil on Canvas Panel Judge's Critque: Nice strong color in this piece and good use of light and shadow patterns that lead you down and out to the bay. My only suggestion would be the distant hillside - if it was a little softer and not a hard edge, it would feel more distant. Very nice design - well painted!
