| "The needles are so graceful. This is really fine!" "I lean toward simplicity." |
| "The horse is really good. It is in proportion, even shows all four hooves. I've noticed that most Western art will have the horses' feet in the grass, so apparently, they are hard to do." "Nice sleigh design!" (I, Jan, especially like the snow!) |
| "This one shows a real graphic eye. I like the greeting in a frame over the fireplace." "Excellent fire and fireplace." |
| Note from Jan: The judges had a really hard time with this category. I, Jan, would have called it a 3-way tie! |
