Welcome to Fusion Art's 2nd Seasons Quarterly International Online Juried Art Exhibition.
For this 10th quarterly art competition, both 2D and 3D artists were invited to submit their best art and photography depicting the four seasons. The "Seasons" theme encompassed the four distinct times of the year – Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter - along with any scenes, events, or activities associated with those four seasons. A particular season can be interpreted in numerous ways and for this competition we wanted to see your unique view. All artists, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their work in any media.
We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Austria, India, Latvia, the Netherlands, Philippines, and Costa Rica.
In this quarterly themed exhibition Fusion Art presents awards in two categories: Traditional Art and Photography & Digital Art. The Seasons Best in Show winners are Brian LaSaga for his acrylic on wood panel, “Beach and Pigtails" and Aleksandrs for his digital and mixed media, "Seasons on the Globe". As the Best in Show winners, both Brian and Aleksandrs, are invited to participate in Fusion Art's 4th Annual Group Show in Palm Springs in 2020.
Other award winners include Second Place winners, Blake Whitaker for his acrylic on canvas, "Fall in the Dolomites" and Shelley Benjamin for her digital art, "Stand of Trees". Third Place awards were given to Elizabeth Burin for her watercolor, "Magnolias on Parade" and Y. Hope Osborn for her photograph, "Christmas Glow". Fourth Place awards were given to Tom Smith for his oil on canvas, "Winter Walk and John McCluskey for his digital art, "Frozen Berries". Fifth Place awards were given to Eldon Case for his oil on canvas, "Winter's Light" and Barbara Mierau-Klein, "Spring has Sprung".

The remaining finalists in the exhibition all exemplify uniquely creative talents and we're honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.
Fusion Art strives to create interesting and enjoyable art exhibitions with a variety of artistic styles and media represented. The art that is selected is based on the theme of the exhibition and the gallery's objective is to include, in every Fusion Art exhibition, a broad representation of quality, style, media, creativity, originality and artistic composition. Art tells a story and we strive to select artwork, particularly for awards, that make the viewers think and wonder what story the artist is trying to tell.
As always, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the competition participants. While not all the artwork that was submitted was selected for inclusion in the exhibition this in not necessarily a reflection on any one artist's talent and/or skill. It takes courage for artists to offer up one's art up for critique by others and all the artists should be applauded for their efforts. We appreciate all of you sharing your extraordinary talent with us.
For anyone interested in purchasing any of the artwork in this exhibition, please contact the artists directly. You will find the artist's website and/or email information below their work.
