Anyone hear from the PSoA yet?
Has anyone heard from Gordon or Christine about their entries yet?
I am just curious. Tony |

Oh, Alex, this is SO thrilling! Well-deserved! Wonderful painting!
|
Congratulations, Alexandra.
|
Fantastic! We all knew it was great....
Good luck, and see you there--TE |
I was on the phone with Alex when it happened!
Dear Alex,
Huge congratulations; if you weren't already the most deserving darling of this Forum, you certainly reign now! Yes, I was on the phone with Alex when she said excues me but there is another call coming in. I waited a couple of minutes, and when she returned, her voice was two octaves higher and it would be an understatement to say that she was excited. Alex is at the very top! As far as I know, big congratulations also go to Tony Pro for an Exceptional Merit Award. Go Tony!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! Also to Linda Brandon, and Myself for a Certificate of Excellence, each. The associated paintings being honored are Tony's portrait of the Artist, John Smith, Linda's Is It Dawn or Dusk?, and my Apotheoun. Who else????? Big kudos to Alex, Tony and Linda!!! Garth |
Congratulations to you all.
We knew it was coming...........it had to :thumbsup: Allan |
Congratulations Alex, Tony, Linda and Garth.
Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap! |

Here are the four winning paintings.
If anyone is upset, I'll take the images down, but I thought it would be great to group these together. Garth 1. The Plasterers, by Alex Tyng (top 12 finalist) 2. The artist, John Smith, by Tony Pro (of 5 exceptional merits) 3. Is it Dawn or Dusk?, by Linda Brandon (of 15 certificates of excellence) 4. Apotheoun, by Garth Herrick (ditto) |
Oh Alex, I am incredibly happy for you! !!!! You really deserve this recognition. I've seen this painting in person and it is very impressive. You are a grand, passionate painter, Hurray and hugs to you!! So proud to know you!!
Tony, I am delighted for you! What a wonderful painting that is. Garth, I've always loved this painting and I'm so happy to see your name in this thread. Congratulations! I wonder if we are in the subcategory of "Portraits of People Lying Around". |
And Tony's friend!
I have not seen the listing of winners yet, but Tony Pro's friend, the renowned Jeremy Lipking is also among the Top 12 Finalists. No surprise!

Congratulations Garth, Tony, Linda and Alex!
I have to say - I am SO impressed at the figurative nature of these and that they won awards (or are in the finals) - this is wonderful as far as I am concerned! I had always assumed they kept to very very traditional portraiture. I love that it seems to be opening up a bit. Im looking forward to seeing these pieces in person. Actually, I've seen Linda's and it is very deserving. |
Simply fabulous!
They are all wonderful paintings...T |
Congratulations to all of you! Wonderful work!
|
Big Congrats to all 4 of you! So exciting and such impressive work!
|
YAY to everyone else :exclamati Congratulations to Garth, Linda, & Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all for your support all along. I mean it! Linda, talk about being overly modest! Who was it who lectured me yesterday on how I shouldn't keep this from my friends on the forum, when all I wanted to do was tell my family first? Hmmmmm? |
Thanks for all the kudos guys!
I am a bit relieved the painting wasn't chosen in the top 12 as I just sent this painting to London for judging in the BP award, hopefully it will stay there as part of the show... Hopefully see you guys in Dallas! Tony |
My congratulations to You Alex, Garth, Tony and Linda. Your work and the work of others on this forum, the individual and personal advice here is our inspiration. Keep up the standard of excellence and do continue to take the time and share with us.
Sincere regards, mischa |
Congratulations to 4 of you! Well deserve !

Anyway, he is a fine painter and deserves to be recognized. Allan |
Geez, you guys were all painting all this time? I thought everybody was just hanging out on the Internet forums.
Well, this explains a lot -- and with great results. Congratulations. I figure you're going to work out how to have a big SOG party somehow, somewhere in Dallas -- before, during or after the barbecue. (Stay away from Southfork, though -- somebody always winds up fighting and tossed in the pool with a perfectly good plate of beef.) (Actually . . . that might be fun, too.) And I can say I knew you when you were just Forum bloggers. |
Congratulations all!
I knew you was contendahs! I have admired all these painting individually and thought they were all beauties recognized or not. Have fun and success in Dallas! |
Big Congrats to all. Look forward to seeing you all in Dallas. And especially looking forward to seeing Alex's wonderful painting up close and in person!
David |
Thanks to everyone!

I think it's only fair to post Jeremy's painting here as well.
The photo does not do this painting justice... it's a beautiful piece in person. I saw this paintings progression as he painted it... 40x30 on linen... This one will be hard to beat... Tony |

Look how those quiet colors sing out so clearly! Nice lush invented luminosities and textures. Tony, send Jeremy my congratulations, and invite him over here.
Garth |
I remain humbled in the presence of my talented forum friends.
Congratulations to all. |
Terrific news - and beautiful paintings all! Woo hoo!
|
Wow! congratulations! I'm going to look forward to seeing your work on their site......
|
And, Molly Williams!
We now include Molly Williams as a certificate of excellence award recipient! Kudos to Molly for her excellent portrait!
I just knew there were others! Now we know of three of the fifteen recipients of this award from our Forum; thats pretty good! Garth |
Also John Ennis, and Marvin Mattelson, both top 12!
Big congratulations also need to be extended to Forum members/ contributors, John Ennis, and Marvin Mattelson, both making the Top 12 of the competition. Both will be exhibiting therefore, in Dallas.
I have seen John's portrait at his website. It's a good one. I think he should post it here. I have yet to learn which work of Marvin's has been selected. Kudos twice, Garth |
Congratulations to all of you! You are all - always winners in my heart!
Someone needs to take lots of pictures in Dallas for us! |
Congratulations to you all!
Very impressive work, - and that you all know each other through a forum like this is really wonderful. Enjoy your success! |
CONGRATULATIONS to you all!
|
Such an impressive list of achievers. Well Done to all.
Someone please document the event and take plenty of photos and place back here on the forum for us not close enough to go in person. Maybe a compiled thread with the paintings selected first with photos from the event following when they come in could be the go including all certificate holders as well. May you all dwell in the golden glow of accolade radiance. |
Congrats to all on these achievements! Garth, I trust you will have the appropriate technology with you to post results to the forum as soon as possible after the awards are known? ;)
