Welcome to Fusion Art's 3rd Annual Landscapes International Online Juried Art Exhibition for the month of April 2018.
For this competition artists and photographers worldwide were encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of natural scenery and the physical elements of landforms such as mountains, hills, valleys, deserts, farmland, trees, rivers, lakes, ponds, forests, wilderness, polar regions, rainforests, islands and tropical landscapes. All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best representational or abstract artwork.
We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Philippines, France, Italy, China, Norway, Austria and Finland.
In each monthly themed exhibition Fusion Art presents awards in two categories: Traditional Art and Digital Art & Photography. The Landscapes Best in Show winners are Crista Bromley for her oil on canvas, "Who's the Boss Now" and Øistein Hansen for his digital photograph, "Full Moon at Dovre Mountain Norway." Both Crista and Pam and Øistein are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month of April 2018 and, as the Best in Show winners, both artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art's 3rd Annual Group Show in Palm Springs in February 2019.
Other award winners include Second Place winners, Barbara Kordas for her acrylic on canvas, "Burnt Sienna Blues" and Jessica Santos for her photograph, "Brush Strokes & Sun Rays." Third Place awards were given to John Jaster for his acrylic on canvas, "Waiting for the Thaw" and Giuseppe Ferraro for his photograph, "Antelope Canyon Double Sun Beams.”

The remaining finalists in the exhibition all exemplify uniquely creative talents and we're honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.
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. Fusion Art does not engage in selling the artwork featured in any of its monthly online exhibitions. All purchase inquiries should be directed to the artist. You will find the artist's website and/or email information below their work.
