Update: After a great show in July from Roundhouse Art Gallery, I was able to come away as the winner of the Juror's Award. Here are some kind words from the panel:
"This was a fine show, and difficult to select a clear winner for the Juror's award. However, Steven by Ryan Mellody showed such confidence in technique and mastery of form, as well as capturing a fine emotional statement about his subject during the course of a day's normal activity, that it appealed to us as a perfect example of what we desired for the Miniature Sketch Show. Many other fine examples were considered, but many were deemed too highly rendered to be considered a "sketch," or lacked somewhat in the evidence of artistic mastery in how to implement the tools and the principles of art in a quick sketch format."
