More on CTC contest

Turns out there were only about three paintings of the 80 exhibits selected.  However, the first 3 of 4 prizes went to paintings.  First was sort of a painting.  It was really multi-media, but the artist did paint a self portrait and then glazed that to a piece of cardboard.    Second prize was a really good oil painting, a self portrait.  The artist was a fellow student in my oil painting class.  Third prize was glazed pottery.  Then there was "Anna" which came in as an Honorable Mention.  There was another Honorable Mention, a photograph.  So I guess that means I finished tied for  fourth.   All the other 2D exhibits were photographs or charcoal drawings. I saw over 20 paintings , maybe 30, leaning up against the wall in the pick-up room; one of them actually did well in another college show I entered back in November.   Four of the oil paintings in the pick-up room were my own.

I am really happy;  looks like "trying my luck at watercolor portraits" is starting to work.
