Last week set me back, but that is Life.
Tomorrow is the deadline for submissions for the 12th Annual International Portrait Competition. If the entry is postmarked later than March 1st it is not counted as an entry. I was up 'til 12 last night finishing up on my painting of Job.
Getting an entry into the competition has forced me to get in the race and compete with other outstanding artists. The winners usually have a full figure so I have no illusions about winning. But for $40 dollars the entrant can submit 3 paintings.
I'm thinking about entering "Jude" for my second choice but I am at a loss for the third. well... now that I read the instructions ( I always remember that ) if the painting is selected it must be available for purchase and be on view for the show. Well, that disqualifies this painting. Its already sold and hanging on someones wall....hmmmmm
If it was'nt for deadlines I would probably procrastinate. A deadline forces me to make choices and to live with those choices.

This painting by Joseph Todorovitch won last years honors. Very Impressive.
