Rehoboth Art League opened its 83rd Annual Members’ Fine Art Exhibition July 23. The show features artwork by more than 80 member artists in a wide variety of media, including paintings in pastel, watercolor, acrylic, oil and mixed media; sculptures of both metal and wood; photography and more.
The 83rd Annual Members’ Fine Art Exhibition featured both 2D and 3D art pieces of various mediums, including pastels, wood, photography and threadwork.
Awards were judged by Molly Giordano, the Executive Director of the Delaware Art Museum.

While judging the awards, Molly Giordano said she was looking for artists who challenged their comfort zones.
Jennie Keith is shown with her photograph titled “Abundance” which won the William Horn Award for best photograph.
George Thompson is shown with his piece titled “Trickle Down Theory” which he described as an abstract acrylic piece inspired by the pollution that lurks beneath the surface of green spaces.
Marilyn Feldman is shown in front of her pastel piece called “Snow Geese,” which received honorable mention for the Mary Derrickson McCurdy Memorial Award. Feldman said the piece was inspired by snow geese she saw in Milton.
John Clendening is all smiles in front of one of his favorite paintings on display as part of his “Experiencing America’s Landscapes” display. Clendening said he went through a lot of apples to make this painting.
