Deborah Secor comment on Physalis Blue

As already mentioned in the previous post, Deborah Secor was the judge for the  Get Dusy and here is her comment on my painting.

1st place: Mario Vukelic, Physalis Blue 

"The strong hues and composition of this painting are initially very compelling, but a longer look proves it’s not merely made up of color and contrast. The painting delights with charming rhythms, fascinating negative spaces, excellent draftsmanship, useful textures, and a variety of technical approaches, utilizing the strengths of pastel. Subtleties keep the eye circling around this stable yet dynamic composition that stands firmly in space yet invites us to visit each branch in turn. The painterly quality draws on soft and crisp strokes, while grayed colors host the bright orange-blue complement."
