Floral III – Pat Castka
A charming and well-executed piece, this painting displays strong brushwork and a pleasing color harmony. The loosely applied impasto technique gives it a delightful tactile quality. It stays within a more traditional and restrained composition. While it's warm and inviting, it lacks the visual drama or complexity found in the other entries. Still, it is solid in form, well-balanced, and tastefully minimal in palette and background.
