My portrait The Plasterers: Walter and Wally Walden was chosen as one of the 12 finalists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Cynthia, please excuse the excessive punctuation.)

In case you haven't seen it, here's a link:

I was on the phone with Alex when it happened!

Dear Alex,

Huge congratulations; if you weren't already the most deserving darling of this Forum, you certainly reign now!

Yes, I was on the phone with Alex when she said excues me but there is another call coming in. I waited a couple of minutes, and when she returned, her voice was two octaves higher and it would be an understatement to say that she was excited. Alex is at the very top!

As far as I know, big congratulations also go to Tony Pro for an Exceptional Merit Award. Go Tony!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! Also to Linda Brandon, and Myself for a Certificate of Excellence, each. The associated paintings being honored are Tony's portrait of the Artist, John Smith, Linda's Is It Dawn or Dusk?, and my Apotheoun.

Who else?????

Big kudos to Alex, Tony and Linda!!!

Garth

Oh Alex, I am incredibly happy for you! !!!! You really deserve this recognition. I've seen this painting in person and it is very impressive. You are a grand, passionate painter, Hurray and hugs to you!! So proud to know you!!

Tony, I am delighted for you! What a wonderful painting that is.

Garth, I've always loved this painting and I'm so happy to see your name in this thread. Congratulations! I wonder if we are in the subcategory of "Portraits of People Lying Around".
