A very generous donor has donated the painting from the 2017 Plowman to be auctioned again to benefit Odyssey Chamber Music Series!
Odyssey commissions original artwork from a local artist to be featured in Plowman Chamber Music Competition posters, which are distributed nationwide. 2017 artist is Naomi Sugino Lear, art professor from Columbia College, who also used to play a woodwind instrument. Her artist statement will follow (below). The painting is framed in a black floating frame with gold trim. Size is approximately 26.5 in. height x 32.5 in. wide, including the frame. The painting has been signed and varnished. (Note: This picture was taken before it was varnished.) The actual painting contains bright burgundy reds and has lush luster which would compliment any home very well. |
