Landscape Artist of the Year.

I agree, I think they're running out of word salad. But what's worse are the original submissions...more often than not most unworthy.
I mean gloomy charcoal scribbles cannot possibly be appropriate to depict the South of France!

And then there are the AWFUL unfunny puns
peddled by Stephen Mangan interspersed by the mind numbingly pathetic adverts by the sponsors.
I once loved LAOTY but it's losing it..fast!

Might be interesting to have more than one set of judges although at least they get the final credit as to its worth at the end.

Well that lady curator has a lot to say and seems to have influence over Kate and Thai who I feel have more to offer.
Feel sorry for the other artists who my dh always says were robbed. Just imagine that tiny piece of art hanging anywhere near Monet, Cezanne or Renoir in the Courtauld Gallery. It wasn’t just the size but I felt the design wasn’t more than a decoration and didn’t convey much about the subject.

I missed it !
How annoying ,but something to look forward to .
I'm often disappointed by the winning choices .
I think that it has to be something new and anything traditional is passed over .
I often feel really irritated by the comments of the judges .
Certain expressions are particularly annoying -narrative and counter intuitive come to mind .

I thought it was ridiculous.
Just suppose she should win, go to the South of France and return with something 3 inches square of similar quality.
What a waste.
I much preferred the watercolour

I can always predict the probable winner, it's usually the one I like the least.

And I agree with the twaddle! Last night Tai Shan said - and I think these are his exact words -

"it's almost as if he instinctively reacted to what was in front of him"...

...well excuse my ignorance, but if you're asked to paint a landscape that is in front of you, isn't that what you're supposed to do?

I was amused by that too Ferry22 so pretentious

covering all bases I think. I liked her print but I wouldn't have chosen any of the final three...

I think most of the winners of the current series are awful!

Diversity ?
Much as I like the judges, (especially Tai Shan 💞), they do talk a load of twaddle sometimes and choose some really awful winners 🤦‍♀️
