Hello, Chris.
There was a large number of pieces on display (maybe 60 or 70). Some were quite impressive and many were competently executed.
The Best of Show was justly awarded to a beautifully accomplished watercolor landscape. There weren't many portraits in the show, although most of the paintings on display seemed to be competing in the "Oils" category (at least 3 out of 5, it seemed to me).
Portraits seem to have an advantage when placed side by side with equally accomplished works of art. They speak to the viewer.
