Springs, CA, USA -- Fusion
Art is pleased to announce the opening of the 2nd
Annual "Landscapes" International Online Juried Art
Exhibition for the month of January 2017. The exhibition is now

The
"Landscapes" exhibition opened on January 1st and featured
awards in two categories: Traditional Art and Digital Art &
Photography.
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. The work could range from realism to surrealism to
abstraction and all artists and photographers, regardless of location
or experience, were encouraged to submit.
The
Best in Show winners are Victor Schiro for his oil on canvas, "Song
Dog Ranch Arroyo" and Kyle Stanley for his digital photograph,
"Setting of the Supermoon."
Both
Victor and Kyle are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month of
January 2017 and, as the Best in Show winners, both artists are also
invited to participate in Fusion Art's 2nd Annual Group Show in Palm
Springs, CA, in November 2017.
Other
award winners include Second Place winners, Tamkeen Siddique for her

her digital photograph, "Mount Redoubt Volcano." Third
Place awards were given to Elizabeth Burin for her watercolor, "Mount
Rainier, Melting Snow II" and Hunter Johnson for his
photographic print on acrylic, "Sunrise in the Rain."

Mention winners - Carl Owen, Diane Bragdon, David Dumo and Margaret
