A Warm Winter Day
Gaku Aomatsu
Tokyo, Japan 7 years old
A sharp-eyed male snowy owl is flying through the winter forest, searching for food for the mother owl and her chick.
Judge's Comment
It is an overwhelming display of expressive power. The work radiates a force that captures not only the owl’s resilient, vigorous, and abundant vitality, but also the richness of nature itself. At the same time, it is gentle, brilliant, and beautiful.
Omurice at My Regular Place

I depicted the process of eating an omu-rice. I used warm colors to express the happiness of enjoying the dish.
Judge's Comment
The painter’s talent is clearly evident. The striking brightness and vividness recall the Impressionists of the past. Do not be content with your skill alone—keep pursuing the kind of painting that only you can create.
