Winner of Portrait Society of Canada




Just so you all know, I recently won the Grand Prize and Best in Show award at the Portrait Society of Canada's annual conference and competition. I'm attaching the winning portrait.

All the best to everyone. I haven't been here for a while.

Juan

Dear Juan,

Many congratulations! A great, and well-deserved honor. Can you post your painting?

Glad to see you back,

Hmm, looks as if my attachment doesn't work. (It's a browser problem, not a user problem.)

I'll try again tomorrow (unless someone grabs the pic off of my website and uploads it for me).

Juan

Here you go.

Oh, and a lovely website, too!!

Your picture was 407 pixels wide; the maximum allowable on this Forum is 400 pixels wide. I made the fix in Photoshop.

Hi Juan,

This is terrific news and I'm so happy for you! Your work is wonderful.

I am also glad to hear from you again. I hope Canada has thawed out a bit from the last time you posted.

Best wishes,
Linda

Thank you everyone for your compliments! I appreciate them a lot.

Catherine, thanks for taking my not-at-all-thinly-disguised hint and uploading the picture for me. It didn't occur to me that it was too large. I've reduced the picture's size. If it shows up here along with this note, then that was it. (Sorry about the redundancy). Also, it would demonstrate that it is a user problem and not a browser problem as I suggested earlier and I would then owe my browser an apology. Thanks for the compliments on my website, too.

All best,
Juan

Ah!! That was it. Thanks for pointing it out. Even though it's clearly written right beside the file attachment area, I somehow missed it. 'Twas late.

Congratulations Juan! I love the painting.

I believe that SOG member artist Gwenneth Barth gave some type of talk. It would be great if someone would give a report on the event in the portrait society event section and even post some photos.
