The Duet in AAA show, New York
 

Recently I heard that this painting was accepted into the Allied Artists of America's 94th Annual Exhibition at the National Arts Club in New York City.

It is my first figurative piece ever to be accepted into a juried show! I want to thank everyone on the Forum who responded to this thread, because it is in a large part due to your positive reaction and encouragement that I decided to enter this.

It's wonderful, Alex,

I have always liked your realistic style, it is so refreshing in this Age of Photo-realism.
Congratulations and good luck with the show. :thumbsup:

Congratulations Alex,

May you go on to win a prize as well! It is a lovely painting.

I didn't see this painting before. I love the tension in your subjects. I love playing music, and do play the violin. You have captured the thrill of making music. The composition is wonderful. Congratulations and good luck.

Allan, Vianna, Sharon and Linda--thank you for all your kind words!

Alex,

Big congratulations. I've always loved this painting.

David
