Lydia & Chester Roberts Award for an outstanding, traditional work of art in appreciation of their kindness to so many artists (painting, graphics or sculpture)

Oil, 16 x 20 in.

Susan Lynn, Mussel Point Breakers
Oil, 12 x 24 in.
$2,500
”Echoing Stow Wengenroth's ‘September Storm Ogunquit, Maine’, my painting also depicts the classic seascape theme of breaking waves against foreground rocks. While Wengenroth based his work on the coast of Maine, my interpretation is based on our local scenery at Mussel Point.” ~Susan Lynn

Is it ok to come out now? Will I be accepted for who I am? A woman, just sitting comfortably, in a green jacket?
Sitting comfortably in my own skin. Taking up space, just as you are, and they have...

”I was provided with a wonderful blueprint- a pleasing arrangement of interesting shapes of different values. While remaining true to this composition, I was able to invent the color from my experience and my imagination. Lighthouses carry such emotional weight, as they welcome loved ones back to shore, and signal farewell as those loved ones depart.” ~Debbie Mueller

”’Unspoken Bond’, needs no interpretation. If you ever had a close relationship with a beloved animal, you will relate to what I am saying. Again, in William Meyerowitz's painting, ‘Red Horses’, you can see that close bond, between the riders and horses.” ~T.A. Charron

David Drinon, Bass Rocks, Gloucester
Oil, 16 x 20 in.
$3,275
”I started this painting on location, on the rocks by the Elks Club. I was attracted to the overcast gray day and the surf was relatively calm with the foam of the waves glowing among the dark rocks and clouds. I finished it up in my studio using only my memory of the day.” ~Dave Drinon

Mike Dorsey, Conversation On The Foam
Oil on canvas, 20 x 20 in.
$2,000
”Parker S. Perkins loved sudsy seas and ocean rocks. I thought, what if I caught waves after they went out, leaving only foam and shallow translucent water? The nature of the sea, and the nature of life are so similar, so ephemeral, I thought why not combine these two natures and place two human shadows conversing, frozen in the moment on the foam, and moments later, like the foam, they would slip away too.” ~Mike Dorsey

$300
”I grew up in Gloucester, and this piece is my first interpretation of the Gloucester waterfront through the eyes of Frederick Mulhaupt.

”’Peony Garden’ is my interpretation of Antonio Cirinio's Still Life, Peonies as a Little People photograph. The peonies had just bloomed in my garden this morning and I gathered the same color blossoms and arranged them in my studio with tiny gardeners tending the flowers. I took several shots at different times of day striving to get dramatic sun light and shadow. The final outcome is an idyllic comfortable garden where the tiny people can putter away in peace and tranquility.” ~Judy Robinson-Cox

David Bareford, The Stone Gazebo
Oil, 11 x 14 in.
$2,750
”Who doesn't love the beach? Rockport has this lovely strand which provides endless fascination for the kids. Hibbard was moved to paint there and so are many others. I have always been intrigued by this scene in part, I suppose, because there is no access to the obvious center of attention. A charming vignette nonetheless.” ~David Bareford

John Caggiano, Front Beach Icon
Oil on Linen Panel, 10 x 20 in.

Susan Guest-McPhail, Tribute
Mixed media, 24 x 30 in.
$1,500
”Zygmund Jankowski was a friend and mentor. I was in a weekly class he had in East Gloucester with many of my fellow artists at the RAA in the 80's and it was extremely exciting experience. He was a gifted teacher, a wonderful colorist and had a rhythm in his work that was full of energy. In my opinion he was ‘a Lion In Winter’, because his life and his painting shifted during his mid to later life with an explosion of great works. I can only hope to follow his example of living an artful life.” ~ Susan Guest-McPhail

Heidi Caswell Zander, In Good Company
Oil on canvas, 24 x 30 in.
$2,600
Antonio Cirino Memorial Award for Excellence in Oil of an American Landscape, Seascape or Still Life
Seeing the Jankowski marine painting I was inspired by the rhythm of the boats, the alternating verticals. Also key is the uplifting gay color of his work, the light transparent feeling it offers which relates directly to the vibrant colors I have brought out through the assemblage of objects and cloths in my still life. The colors allow the viewer to travel through the works, in and out, back and forth, asking the viewing visitor to stay for awhile to investigate further.

”Inspired by the R. Reccia’s cat sculpture, I chose to do a cat sculpture and make the final artwork using a 3D printer. A challenge and learning curve for me to make use of the ‘Now’ capabilities!” ~Pamela Giarratana

Nancy Muise, A Young Girl With Her Pet Chinchilla
Oil on canvas, 20 x 16 in.
$1,400
”The young girl in the portrait is casually interacting with her pet chinchilla, which sparks a ‘playful mood.’ The pet is on her shoulder and her head is turned to look at the pet. The red sweatshirt she is wearing is a bold contrast against the green background that. accentuate a ‘contrasting view’ into the composition.” ~Nancy Muise

Roger Gill, Bark Elissa off Maui
Oil, 18 x 24" in.
$5,500
”During a workshop with David Curtis, in the Hibbard and Maddocks Gallery, I was drawn to Anthony Thieme's ‘Old Salt Barque’, and painted a quick rendering of his painting at that time. Being a Mariner, a ‘Bark’ design is classic designed ship......so I incorporated a Bark, the ‘Elissa’ , having a similar Hull color, and included my experience sailing off Maui.” ~Roger Gill

Acrylic, 16 x 16 in.
$1,600
”My painting, ‘Skating, 2021’ is a parody of Roger Martin's work, ‘Waiting, 1956’.

KT Morse, Orange is the New Blue
Oil, 16 x 20 in.
$1,800
”My intent was to take this dynamic composition and paint it in complimentary colors to the original work. I kept the values the same but blue became orange, red became green and yellow became violet. It was a challenge but fun to try.” ~KT Morse

Susan Termyn, Autumn Quarry, Rockport
Oil on linen, 20 x 24 in.
$3,200
”William Lester Steven’s painting Rockport Quarry Pool, my selection to demonstrate the lessons and inspiration I have appreciated from Rockport’s Old Master, is executed in bold brush strokes, vibrations of warm and cool color capture the essence of sunlight on rocks and water on an autumn afternoon. I admired the Rockport Art Association & Museum’s permanent collection piece when on view a couple of years ago. Painting plein air last October from the rim of Rockport’s Flat Ledge Quarry, I strove for Steven’s direct approach to depict the quarry’s dramatic ledges, sun splashed facade and brilliant blue ocean backdrop. While painting ‘Autumn Quarry, Rockport’ I held Steven’s ‘Rockport Quarry Pool’ in my imagination.” ~Susan Termyn

Joe Smith, Templeton Center Burial Ground
Pen & ink, 8 x 10 in.
$225
”I was attracted to Stow Wengeroth's First Parish Burying Grounds because it was a black and white image and I was intrigued by the setting and the simple but precise rendering of the gravestones. It drew me at once to the old burial ground behind the church in the center of Templeton, MA. I tried to mimic the economy of line and the use of dark values to frame the sunlit headstones.” ~Joe Smith

Law Hamilton, Reading to the Dead
Photograph, 10 x 18 in.
$325
”I went Salem with a copy of The Crucible to explore the theme of boundaries. Salem was was empty and eerily quiet on a sunny and cold winter's day. The Charter Street Cemetery was closed for renovations and maintenance, fenced off with keep out signs. The Witches Memorial right next to the graveyard was open so I spent some time there, it was a great shoot with the light and wind. The backs of the gravestones faced the Witch's Memorial, during the shoot I felt the division. The boundary between proper burials and memorials, fact and fiction, and good vs evil are still all there, with death being the ultimate boundary.” ~Law Hamilton

Oil on Canvas, 8 x 16 in.
$1,800
”My painting keeps the central elements of John Cook's original -- looking out from a rocky cove toward Thacher Island's Twin Lights on a gray day -- but moves the scene to a similar perspective in Rockport.

Laurie Simko, My Lighthouse
Oil on canvas, 20 x 16 in.

Karen Fitzgerald, Stage Fort Park
Photography, 15 x 11 in.
$320
”I chose Augustus Buhler’s, ‘Gloucester Beach with Two Figures’. I have been photographing reflections on the water and beach for sometime now. The effects of light on the water and how color and images are reproduced in reverse on the sand and water intrigue me. It quiets my being, bringing calm and peace. When I look at his watercolor, I feel that same peace.” ~Karen Fitzgerald

Marion Hall, Back Shore From Half Moon Beach
