47 Miles to Tucson. 18x36. Oil on board by Christy Olsen. |
“This is what I see every time I hit the ‘47 miles to Tucson’ mile marker on the way home from Phoenix. I love the shape at the top of Picacho Peak, I think everyone in Southern Arizona recognizes ‘the peak’. During the afternoon, you can really see some terrific dark rich shadows on the side of the mountain that add a bit of mystery to this intriguing desert landscape.” --Christy Olsen
Juried Exhibition & Art Sale
Richeson 75 International is an art competition that allows established and emerging artists to show their latest, best work to a broader and more appreciative audience. The Richeson School of Art facilitates each competition with a unique genre. Artists worldwide submit their pieces annually, and only 75 pieces are chosen, which is why it is called the "Richeson 75 International."
Jack Richeson & Co., Inc. underwrites large cash prizes for Best-In-Show and generous prizes of Richeson art studio furniture and materials for each contest cycle genre. The 75 finalists for each regular contest genre exhibit their work in the beautiful Richeson Gallery, which appears in a hardcover book for that annual competition genre.
There is also a companion online exhibit that reaches a broad audience. Medium categories include 1) oil, oil pastels, & acrylics, 2) Other media (soft pastels, drawing /dry media, watercolor, gouache, casein, printmaking, etc.).
