Jimmie Arroyo wins in CT
Congratulations Jimmie!
He did it again, and won the "Daler-Rowney" Award for his painting 'DanaF' at the 12th annual "Renaissance In Pastel" competition - held by the Connecticut Pastel Society.
And it was judged by Burton Silverman, no less.
Here is a photo of his painting from the show.
Way to go Jimmie, it is well deserved - and I am sure there are going to be many more!

Congratulations Jimmie! That is a remarkable pastel. There is a believable sensuality to the tonal development of her skin. Superb!

Jimmie,
Congratulations! Very well deserved. Of course, Burton knows great talent when he sees it. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Thanks so much guys, especially Kim for posting it. I still get embarrassed posting positive events for myself, so it's always good to have someone do it for me. 
I'm going back up to see Sam Goodsell's portrait demonstration on Nov. 6th, it should be an eye-opener. Looking foward to the day where I know what I'm doing to give a demo of my own. If I had to give one today, the demo would take several hours which would include standing around, pacing, eating snacks, cursing, and crying, hahaha.

I got to see this one in person as well in NYC at a show there. With the attitude on this painting, I suspect it reached out and grabbed the judge, like Sharon said - but maybe not just in the eyeballs.

Jimmie--
It's outstanding!
I appreciate the guts you showed in the original conception, too. It's a reminder to me that if the idea isn't there to begin with, all the technique in the world--which you have in spades--won't matter.
Very cool...Congratulations!
