Hi Mari,
I have good news and bad news. I have the list of all the finalists, but I can't remember what the titles of the paintings were and which took what prize, although they were all winners in my mind.
I will post the list and maybe someone else can say which painting went with which artist.
Ned Bittinger submitted "Norman"
