Garth--congratulations! I will be at the Woodmere opening reception with Nancy Bea (we both have paintings in the show, too) so we will see you there and share in the celebration!

Dear Claudemir, and Richard,

Many thanks! Claudemir, I bet many on this Forum in the Northern Hemisphere wish they could join you enjoying the summer months! Richard, I got an 1 x 8 poplar board at Home Depot, and then buscuit joined it together to make it 14.5 inches. Soon I realized it needed cradling to keep it remaining reasonably flat. It's just a small bit of plywood that stablilizes it.

Dear Alex,

Yippie!!! Three friends from this Forum in one exhibition!!! That's great news I'm very happy about. Kudos to both you and Nancy Bea. We meet again!

Well, the Woodmere reception and awards presentation was last night, and it was very festive and lively. Garth was there with his daughter. Lesser Apotheoun looked wonderful hanging above another small piece (sorry I forgot to take a picture of it on the wall). Lots of people were remarking on how good the show was this year, and I agree that the quality of the pieces was really high. There was a lot of representational art this year!

Here's a picture of Garth with his daughter after he received his award:

Hi Linda, and Thanks!

This show, I am delighted to report, includes at least four of us related to the Portrait Artist Forum or Stroke of Genius: John Ennis, Nancy Bea Miller, Alexandra Tyng, and myself. It's a great show this year, and there are a number of others exhibiting who should be recruited to join here. At least I think so!

Thanks Alex for your kind report and great picture (and congratulations to you too!). I was all smiles last night. Last night was all schmoozing with good friends. Today we will attempt to actually see this show.

Garth, I'm so glad you mentioned John Ennis--I keep forgetting he is in the forum because I've never seen him post anything. Sorry, John, if you are reading this. We went again today, too, and looked around more carefully, enjoying the many excellent portraits.
