Jo jenkins from upton, near chester, is the winner of the cheshire life landscape artist of the year 2016 title. Words by louise allen-taylor.
During a pleasant evening hosted by Attitude owners Sharon and Chris Eversfield, four finalists admired each others’ work on display at the gallery before leaving the judges alone to discuss the paintings.
Sharon and Chris, along with fellow judge art critic Michael Escolme, were unanimous in the decision that the winner should be Jo Jenkins, from Upton, near Chester.
The judges said: ‘The finalists’ work was all of a very high standard, their love of painting and the inspiration with which the Cheshire countryside brings each artist is evident, albeit in very distinct and different ways. The judging process provoked much debate and went on well into the wee hours when a final decision was eventually made.
