I'm glad you think so Michelle. I ran this idea by an artist friend of mine who was afraid I would be selling myself short but it is much cheaper than running ads and I would rather be painting than not.

it is a great marketing idea. Once you are on the wall so to speak, you can write to the other judges, show them your portrait in a photo and them offer to paint their official portrait when they desire to do so. I bet you get more than one taker.

Vianna, there doesn't seem to be any downside here. The main pitfall is that people might tend to value your work for its cost.
Nonetheless, it is a great opportunity for you to publicly establish the way you want to work. Do it now, because a free portrait carries no demands. Then you can set yourself up to paint in the future just what you want.

Thanks for the support Chris. I really respect your business sense and I'm going to send the letter this afternoon.
