Back in February, I entered my painting in American Artist Magazine's Self-Portrait Competition - and I got word yesterday, from the managing editor that I was chosen as a finalist. The article and the winning entries will be published in the October issue. How cool is that?
Update ~ I did not make the final cut after all, but looking at the work that did, I can only be extremely proud that I was considered in the final round.
Fantastic news! The Sep issue came last week, so only days to go.

Great news Karin! You should be proud as there is a lot of competition there. My entry didn't fair quite so well.;) They are going to critique one of my paintings though.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Very cool, and so is your portrait. Very strong!
ReplyDeleteKarin, When you first posted this self-portrait a few months ago, I had chills up my spine, it was that good! And I immediately thought to myself, she should enter this in the Smithsonsian's National Portrait Gallery Portrait Competition. Please consider doing so, and of course, congratulations on becoming a finalist of the American Artist Magazine's competition. I am so happy for you! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMost excellent! Can't wait to read all about it. Lots of light in your eyes...well done as per you-usual.

Beautiful Karin...congrats on becoming a finalist in the American Artist Competition!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your painting style...I am mostly a palette knife painter (or enjoy that method the most) and also entered - will keep on trying.
I like Carol Marine's work also and follow you both along with Justin C. of the Daily Painters. My web site is www.lisazook.com if you wish to take a look...I work full time so I am only able to get one painting completed per every week to two weeks (right now) and have 2 galleries representing me in the Michigan, Ohio area. - Lisa
So cool! Congrats, Karin
ReplyDeleteFantastic, absolutely well deserved, achievement, your portrait is frigging awesome! But then so is every single painting you do, you inspire me to keep painting.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! Even if you don't look like I imagined. LOL
ReplyDeletebravo!
