Dear Thomasin, Alex, and Marina,
I am thrilled for all of you and your collective five works deservedly selected as finalists! That makes me feel great! Congratulations!
But, how would you feel if three of mine are added as finalists too !? All are in the portrait/figure category:
Apotheoun (that painting which seemingly just won't fade away; tallying 12,166 views so far here)
Incidently, Artist's Magazine is also featuring this painting in their 2008 Calendar, coming out soon. . . .!!! I wonder which month they will choose for this painting? Should we bet on one of the summer months?
Also,
Jane and Iona
and,
Arianna and Taylor
I am honored to join your company of finalists, but apologize that these three paintings of mine somehow keep resurfacing.
That makes eight of our Forum featured paintings as finalists, so far! Who else? Ultimately, I wonder how many "finalists" there are? I am beginning to imagine there may be quite a few names filling the list within December's issue of Artist's Magazine.
