Thanks very much Carlos, Alex and Enzie. And congratulations to you too, Alex. I am very sure they chose your lovely painting because of its artistic merit. There's no question. I always think, either way - whether I got into a competition or not, that it was a slip of the judge's mind, that they were suddenly distracted when it came to viewing my work and accidentally ticked the wrong box.

BIG Congratulations Thomasin and Alex !!!
You both really deserve this recognition.
I also feel honored to be in fantastic company : they choose my "Cherub" as a finalist in the portrait and figure category ( and also 2 of my trompe-l'oeil in the still life category).

And three more. . . !
Dear Thomasin, Alex, and Marina,
I am thrilled for all of you and your collective five works deservedly selected as finalists! That makes me feel great! Congratulations!
But, how would you feel if three of mine are added as finalists too !? All are in the portrait/figure category:
Apotheoun (that painting which seemingly just won't fade away; tallying 12,166 views so far here)
Incidently, Artist's Magazine is also featuring this painting in their 2008 Calendar, coming out soon. . . .!!! I wonder which month they will choose for this painting? Should we bet on one of the summer months?
Also,
Jane and Iona
and,
Arianna and Taylor
I am honored to join your company of finalists, but apologize that these three paintings of mine somehow keep resurfacing.
That makes eight of our Forum featured paintings as finalists, so far! Who else? Ultimately, I wonder how many "finalists" there are? I am beginning to imagine there may be quite a few names filling the list within December's issue of Artist's Magazine.
Garth

Congratulations, Garth! That i such good news!  Three is indeed impressive. They are three beautiful examples of your work.
A year ago I would not have believed it possible that you could get more mileage out of Apotheoun! Not that it isn't a unique and beautifully executed work, but I just didn't think it was possible. You have proved me wrong. And meanwhile, Lesser Apotheoun, which was purchased by the Pennsylviania Academy of Fine Arts, is being hung permanently today! (I just thought I would add that little tdbit, though I hope you provide a more detailed account with photos in a separate thread.)
