Oh well, not a finalist!
Hi all,
As I learned yesterday in an official email of decline, and already announced over here at member news , Apotheoun did not make the final exhibition cut for the National Portrait Gallery exhibition opening on July 1. That would have been nice. It still has to be a very interesting exhibition of current American contemporary portraiture, whatever is included. Space apparently allows for just about half of the 100 semifialists to show.
I am so grateful to everyone here for all the tremendous cheer and support during this very lengthy competition process. We all should get another chance at this Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition in three years when this particular competition recycles again.
So, a hearty thankyou to all!
Garth

A kind word of encouragement
Yikes, better than 8,000 views today!
I just received a very nice note of encouragement from the Contract Registrar at the Smithsonian Institution National Portrait Gallery, within an email detailing the procedure for the return shipment of Apotheoun. Citing Apotheoun as a personal favorite, she made my day!

Ha! Pearls before swine, and the like. I love that painting. Let me know if you'd like to do a trade. 
Look forward to seeing you next,

Dear Chris, thanks; what kind serendipity you bring! I'm awaiting for word on a couple show options; one being the possibility of a possibility of a west coast venue. To perhaps be continued.....

Another kind note!
This morning, I received a kind note from Brandon Fortune, the Associate Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the National Portrait Gallery, and the curator of the upcoming exhibition of the competition finalists. He expressed he was also very impressed with my painting, "Apotheoun". This was spontaneous, and he certainly wasn't required to say anything given my painting being declined; but from him such kind words mean a lot to keep me motivated, and I am appreciative in no small way. I just wanted to share this.

It just goes to show, "good follows good".
You deserve it, buddy.

Apotheoun wins again!
I received the email notification from the Portrait Society of America yesterday at five PM, that Apotheoun is being awarded a Certificate of Excellence, in their Eighth Annual International Portrait Competition. Wow, I was not expecting this to be the one chosen among my entries!
I don't have to exhibit it but it will be included in their Power Point presentation in the opening ceremonies, and also during the awards presentations.
Too much!
Garth
