Ardith,

Congratulations! I am very pleased that your very inspired portrait received the top award. From the time you first posted it, it has been such an inspiration to see. You are most deserving of this honor.

Garth

Congratulations, Ardie! I saw it in real life at the last PSOA show and it is, indeed, beautiful.

WOW.

Congratulations, Ardith!

I knew this piece was something special when it was unveiled here in the forum. I love it when juried art shows get it right! It doesn't happen often enough, but this piece obviously could not be overlooked, thankfully!

Therefore, it is not improper to say: Wooohooooo!!!!

Congratulations, Ardith! I sure would love to see this in person some day, but now that Fred Ross has it tucked away, I guess that won't happen any time soon.

I certainly can see why! This has been one of my favorite paintings since the first time I saw it.

Congratulations!
