It's a first for me.

I am so honored to have been chosen as a finalist in one of the most prestigious international realist art competitions.  The 12th ARC Salon, (Art Renewal Center).  This year they had 1006 finalist works by 640 artists, representing 32% of works submitted from artists all over the world.  I am really excited to have made it as a finalist and really don't expect to go any further but winners will be announced in November.  I entered three paintings.
