PSOA 2005 Judges?

Tony,

I am not one bit surprised, in fact, I had a feeling that you were one of the ten - congrats !(and thanks, Jim)

I wanted to clarify my earlier response. I think when you are in a portrait competition, especially the PSA, you would expect the judges to be well qualified.

Likewise, I would expect a group like PleinAir Painters of America to also have qulaified judges. The 'mystery' seems to be most prevalent when a group of diverse work is generally judged as a group - abstract, experimental, landscape portrait, etc.. Honestly I can't image how something like the Artists' Magazine competition contends with 10,000 entries.

Also, Tony, I don't want your important news to get lost here, so I will post a note in the Member News section, hoping you don't mind

Thanks, Chris... I am really nervous about the whole thing. Never been to a PSA before but I hear it's quite overwhelming.

Looking forward to meeting you and so many of the others on this forum...

Congratulations again Tony, these judges must be good aye!

Just to clarify; the PSA is the Pastel Society of America, the PSOA is the Portrait Society of America. We want you to get ALL your kudos!
