Dear Marina

A very hearty congratulations to you. Such a well-deserved prize!! I hope there will be many more prizes (and beautiful artworks) to come. Michele was right when she said it is one of the best child-portraits out there. Stunning work!

Marina!!

You see what happens when someone in Spain crosses their fingers for someone from France! Many, many congratulations! That particular piece of yours deserves nothing less. I wish you many more successes! (Just say when you want me to cross my fingers).

Dear Marina,

What wonderful news!! It's one thing to be accepted into a competition, but to have your work singled out by someone like Ray Kinstler - well that's really a WOW!

Yes! That's what I was thinking too !
After seeing Kinstler works at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, it was a bit hard to believe that I really heard " first prize" on the phone!

During the show, Richeson publish a few e-newsletters with interviews of the winning artists, and through which you'll learn which paintings sell and why, and you also can vote for people's choice award...

Marina, congratulations! This is such exciting news! It is, as Ray Kinstler says, "fun," and much, much more. I have a strong feeling that this is the start of something BIG for you.
