The list of winners sounds like they had really good judging this year. It speaks well for this forum's members too. Cheers! Hail, hail. Did anyone win that doesn't participate here?

Congratulations Deladier and Marvin!

Thanks everyone for your kind words and well wishes. I haven't had a chance to see the issue yet but I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Marvin and Deladier,
I just received my issue in the mail yesterday and the article is great. What fun to see both your portraits and to find that they are so familiar to me, having studied both of them here on the forum. Deladier, I watched your portrait develop as you worked on it, and posted it here for comments and support, so it was especially fun to see it published in the magazine!!

My congratulations to both of you.

Thank you all for the kind words.

Nothing is as encouraging to me as the acknowledgment of my peers - and the honor of counting myself among you.

Thank you, Linda, for starting this thread.

My first words now that I am back in the U.S., with the noise of Beijing still in my ears, is the same as the above artists have expressed.
