Portrait Society announces Children's Portrait Competition winners

[Alexandra Tyng]

Thanks, everyone! Welcome, Kevin, and congratulations to you and all the other artists who won! This came as a big surprise to me, since the deadline for notifying winners had come and gone. The other day I got a call from John Ennis, who of course was another of the finalists, and I had no idea what he was talking about!

My entry was the portrait of George, which can be seen in the "Unveilings" section, but I'll post it again here.

And a big congratulations to you too, Alexandra, and all the other winners!

It is strange what you say; I was not notified either. It was only when I received Cynthia's "congrats/please post your image" email that I realized (with a thrilling shock) that I was listed among the winners. I wonder if there are any other winners who have not been notified and have not been fortunate enough to hear about it from a third party as we two did.

I only knew about it because I maintain the Society's web site.

These are beautiful. Congratulations to the winners!

Patricia McWilliams is tied up with a painting deadline and asked if I would post her image for her. Here it is:
