Joel Carson Jones Wins Award at Raymar Art Competition

Juror of Awards Comments:   

I don't think there's a better "Harnett" than this piece!!!  What a skilled technician with an outstanding, creative idea to make it 3-dimensional!  This piece is more than just "fool-the-eye", it has sophisticated color harmonies and unbelievably top notch edge work in a realistic look. I really love looking at this piece. The more I look, the more I see.  And for me, that doesn't usually happen with realistic paintings.  It's a real eye-stopper.  Congrats Joel Carson Jones for "More Than You Can Chew"! - Charles Warren Mundy


Monthly Judge's Comments (April):  Wow. Another unique and original idea of trompe l'Oeil by one of the masters of the genre, Joel Carson Jones. The three-dimensionality of the dropping gumballs is incredible and creates a depth in the work that many trompe l'Oeil paintings simply are not able to achieve. The gumball machine is a perfect way to play with primary colors cast against each other and the shade and shadow of each one is done masterfully. I also enjoy the detail of the metalwork on the faceplate and the nice use of shadows throughout the painting - Joshua Rose
