Many congratulations. The first place one must be amazing because I think your painting is simply a stunner. I think you can feel extra pride in being recognized by a superior painter - the juror, David Kassan.
I'm not surprised - I'd be surprised in you didn't win! You work is inspirational!
Thank you so much Julie and Judy!
The judge for the animal category was Koo Schadler, whose work I love!
