Jimmie Arroyo wins in CT
 

Congratulations Jimmie!

He did it again, and won the "Daler-Rowney" Award for his painting 'DanaF' at the 12th annual "Renaissance In Pastel" competition - held by the Connecticut Pastel Society.

And it was judged by Burton Silverman, no less.

Here is a photo of his painting from the show.

Way to go Jimmie, it is well deserved - and I am sure there are going to be many more!

Congratulations Jimmie! That is a remarkable pastel. There is a believable sensuality to the tonal development of her skin. Superb!

Congratulations! Very well deserved. Of course, Burton knows great talent when he sees it. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Things are really taking off for you

Thanks so much guys, especially Kim for posting it. I still get embarrassed posting positive events for myself, so it's always good to have someone do it for me. :o

I'm going back up to see Sam Goodsell's portrait demonstration on Nov. 6th, it should be an eye-opener. Looking foward to the day where I know what I'm doing to give a demo of my own. If I had to give one today, the demo would take several hours which would include standing around, pacing, eating snacks, cursing, and crying, hahaha.

Terrific news Jimmie! well deserved --Congratulations!!

Congrats, Jimmie! I agree that it is definately deserved.

And I esepcially like this portrait in particular ;-)

JIMMIE!! You are SO amazing! Much deserved congratulations to YOU! :D

Congratulations, Jimmie! It's a well-deserved honor.
