You folks are too kind.

And if you were made to feel undeserving by the crowd there, shame on them, not you. It's their bad manners, not yours.

Regardless of his personal opinion, I think the president's remarks to you were out of line (not to mention less than gracious)!

That did not bother me at all. I was feeling the same way. My wife did not care for his comments and thought they were rude. I felt different, I'm very glad he came out and gave me his honest opinion. It'll just help me, not hurt me.
I appreciate everyone's comments, I'm realizing that I was too sensitive about it, and am moving on. Here's some pics from the show. They're not in order of explanation.
The chinese boatmen is the one that everyone thought should have won, it's a pretty good painting, but I think the size of it is what caught the people's eye.
The dancers is from the same artist, again nicely painted, but too busy.
The portrait of the woman with the flowers in her hair has to be seen close to be appreciated. It's better from a foot away than it is three feet away. I've drawn the same model maybe thousands of times back in college.
I really like the pastel from Sam Goodsell, the application looks simple (I'm sure it's not) but powerfull. Another that has to be seen in person.
My drawing and pastel. The frame is really nice on the pastel, it has blue on the edges and the museum glass looks great. The drawing has a $20 frame from IKEA. They're strong and look good.
