And, Molly Williams!

We now include Molly Williams as a certificate of excellence award recipient! Kudos to Molly for her excellent portrait!

I just knew there were others! Now we know of three of the fifteen recipients of this award from our Forum; thats pretty good!

Garth

Also John Ennis, and Marvin Mattelson, both top 12!

Big congratulations also need to be extended to Forum members/ contributors, John Ennis, and Marvin Mattelson, both making the Top 12 of the competition. Both will be exhibiting therefore, in Dallas.

I have seen John's portrait at his website. It's a good one. I think he should post it here. I have yet to learn which work of Marvin's has been selected.

Kudos twice,

Garth

Here's a gallery

Here are the four winning paintings.

If anyone is upset, I'll take the images down, but I thought it would be great to group these together.

Garth

1. The Plasterers, by Alex Tyng (top 12 finalist)

2. The artist, John Smith, by Tony Pro (of 5 exceptional merits)

3. Is it Dawn or Dusk?, by Linda Brandon (of 15 certificates of excellence)

4. Apotheoun, by Garth Herrick (ditto)

And Tony's friend!

I have not seen the listing of winners yet, but Tony Pro's friend, the renowned Jeremy Lipking is also among the Top 12 Finalists. No surprise!

Give my regards to Jeremy when you see him. I have enjoyed his art for some time now and wish that he would join the party.
Anyway, he is a fine painter and deserves to be recognized.

Geez, you guys were all painting all this time? I thought everybody was just hanging out on the Internet forums.

Well, this explains a lot -- and with great results. Congratulations. I figure you're going to work out how to have a big SOG party somehow, somewhere in Dallas -- before, during or after the barbecue. (Stay away from Southfork, though -- somebody always winds up fighting and tossed in the pool with a perfectly good plate of beef.) (Actually . . . that might be fun, too.)

And I can say I knew you when you were just Forum bloggers.

Congratulations all!

I knew you was contendahs!

I have admired all these painting individually and thought they were all beauties recognized or not.

Have fun and success in Dallas!
