I entered the image on the left in the Artists Wanted The Power of Self Competition. The image on the right is an interesting Sun drenched photo. The winners will be announced by March 12. Grand prize is 6 months living free at The Edge in Brooklyn or $7,007, international publicity and a big reception. A separate part of the competition was the People’s Choice Award. Thanks for the 22 votes. The People’s Choice was already decided with the top 15 vote getters going to photographers (there are 2 # 1s). http://www.artistswanted.org/self_peoples_choice.html

I probably won’t have to much variety on my Blog until I finish this mural -
I decided I needed to take this part of the mural in a different direction then my oil painting sketch. The dark background of the Bass island shape just wasn’t happening on the giant mural scale. The mural looks so much better now, but now my painting sketch isn’t happening. I’ve been having to carry my wet oil painting on the subway or taxi, so it’s gotten a bit muddy and has bits of the trees on that sidewalk stuck in the paint now.
