Chef serves me the perfect breakfast.
 

Just this morning I received news that my chef's painting ( high res image ) has been accepted into the annual show of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters !

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Ilaria, It's so well deserved.
Good luck.

Congratulations, Ilaria. Beautiful painting.

Many congratulations! Well deserved...

Congratulations Ilaria!

Ilaria, this is fantastic news, and I am so happy for you!
What a well-deserved honor for a fresh and memorable painting. Well done!

Beautiful work!
 

llaria,

I have loved your work from the beginning! You know how to simplify, how to place warm against cool, and your compositions are wonderful. All successes are well-deserved AND I know that they will continue to grow! Brava! :thumbside

Thank you all very much. Though the judges' choices seemed to me quite random in the past years (some embarassing inclusion and unexplainable rejections) getting through is always a great satisfaction especially when it also has a taste of revenge...

I'll post images of the show, let's hope for a better hanging than last time, when my girl's portrait was in a nice room but hanging at the same height of a male reclining nude

Ilaria, you know that I am in your corner rooting for you. I truly hope you take first prize and I believe that you can!

All the best to you
