JUDGE OF AWARDS
Richard Sneary
Richard is drawn to subjects by light and color, but also by the sense of place, its character, and the story he sees in it. It is the juxtaposition of light, color, contrast, form, abstraction and detail that make the paintings work for him. Richard is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and the Missouri Watercolor Society and is well respected on the plein air circuit.
