Theme: Modern Dilemma
Title of the painting: "Shall I...?"
Judge: Tony Ogle
Artist Statement: "My painting portraits the complexity of intimacy and the ever-changing concept of courtship in today’s "casual" society, the modern dilemma being the conflict between trust and openness versus the pain and disappointment it is likely to cause."
Judge's Comments: "Anya has created a confronting portrait of a woman who is all attitude - in your face - simultaneously powerful yet vulnerable. Painted with attitude too."
