If you visited FineArtAmerica.com in November, you may have seen the "Guitar Love" contest. With 46 artist entries, each contestant submitted their most treasured guitar masterpieces.
The three winners featured today gave us their best. Well deserved congratulations go to ...
1st Place Winner -- Blues Man by Sharon Sieben
Sharon Sieben began painting five years ago and hasn't stopped since -- that's when her passion blossomed. Before that she only had "the urge" to paint -- but it only surfaced occasionally because her time was either focused on her children or her career. Traveling frequently for her job, Sharon visited many places and found people that she thought would be great subjects to capture on canvas and made a mental note to "do that" someday.
Someday finally came a few years back and she's been obsessed to create ever since. Sharon loves to experiment and share her work with others -- always getting such a good feeling when somebody takes the time to admire and react to her art.
Congratulations, Sharon -- Blues Man is a wonderful piece of artwork and 1st Place was well deserved.

2nd Place Tie Winner -- Jazz Rock John Mayer 05 by Yuriy Shevchuk
Born in 1961 in Kiev, Ukraine, the artist Yuriy Shevchuk has been drawing for as long, as he remembers. But, at the Kiev Art School and later at Kiev Architectural Academy (Interior Design Studio 1978-1984) under
professional guidance and rigorous classic training, he mastered his refined technique. Searching for something new and unusual, he developed his own style -- adopting the principles of recording his own experiences by showing a plentitude of feelings and emotions in his art. Since 1993 Yuriy Shevchuk has been living in Prague. His career as an artist is firmly connected with this city of great artistic concentration. In Prague Yuriy exhibits widely (Rapid Gallery, R & K Gallery, Crazy Cow Gallery and more) and enjoys great success. Bewitched with jazz music, his skillful hand and sensitive brush cool the charming figures of musicians in action. Clarity, harmony, refined colors and delightful lines are features which describe Yuriy as a professional. He attracts the interest of sophisticated art lovers and music lovers as well.
Congratulations, Yuriy Shevchuk, for your tie in 2nd Place with Jazz Rock John Mayer 05.
