American Artist 70th Anniversary Competition
The winners have been posted on the American Artist website. The Colored Pencil artist John P. Smolko took the Grand Prize. Absolutely wonderful, he has such a unique style; you must take a look at his work.
The competition has eight categories; Acrylic, Colored Pencil, Drawing, Mixed Media, Oil, Pastel, Printmaking, and Watercolor. My Raindrops piece took Second Place in the Colored Pencil category. It will appear in the December issue of their magazine along with the other winners.
Until October 30, 2007, you can vote for People’s Choice in all the categories. Voters much be or become members of their website forum. Not a bad thing, especially if you are an artist; and it’s easy. Enter an email addy, a password, then verify that you really exist through an email message they send to you, then vote.
But give yourself some time and enjoy viewing all the wonderful art that made the semifinals of the American Artist Competition.
Have a grand day!
