Congratulations Nick!!!!
Congrats, Nick! It's a stunner and very worthy of this award (and others to come, I hope).
This is fantastic news Nick!
Congratulations mate, many more to come without doubt!
A magic piece and well deserving of accolades such as this one.
Well, it doesn't surprise me! Congratulations Nick!
Wow, though no surprise... still worthy of this prize! Way to go, and well-deserved Nick...Susan
Kudos to you!!!
Well deserved! Congrats Nick!
Congrats once again Nick!! Tokyo Express.. Canton Express.. you're on an 'EXPRESS'. Period. Just ride it! Another prestigious award recognising an artful balance and synthesis of East and West..
Nicholas.. so happy to see this work up again with it's proper due. Titles are nice .. but the painting speaks for itself. This painting really works well visually at this larger scale. The lettering doesn't overshadow the main figure but blends harmoniously with it and helps the eye along. I would definitely accept a cup of green tea from her.. and perhaps a song.
CONGRATULATIONS NNG!
So deserved and I think there are a few more to come for this gorgeous piece of art!
Now that's a safe bet!
Did you say giclée prints? :)
Tutto di bene.
PG
thanks Dawn!
Rhonda, I appreciate the plugs for the DVD, and hope it gave you some ideas
Dake - your original critique of this one was quite helpful, and I'll be keeping it mind if I do more on this theme
Pablo - it surprised me. I haven't entered that many shows, and when I do I try to forget about them as quickly as possible...then if you win something it really is a surprise.
Susan - see above ^^^ :)
David - enjoying your latest, keep up the entertaining blog and great work
Deb - thanks for stopping by, and ditto on keeping up the great recent work
Wayne - your presence in the blogosphere adds some heart-pounding excitement to the affair...it will be a real privilege and pleasure to be trading kbs with you on a more regular basis. Love the new blog and new site!!
Bill - always love to get your visual breakdown of the picture. The flatness of this is influenced by oriental art, as well as by watching your stuff go more and more in that direction. A song? Your wish is my command. Arigato.
PG - thanks for the good words, that makes three downunder friends in one post. Glad you like it, and you're making some pretty gorgeous pieces of art yourself. I'll be over to see it presently!
Wow!! this piece is so eye popping and I love your approach to the layers and color mingling. Congratulations!!
Claudia - thanks for visiting. I was verysurprised to win this again, Pennsylvania has been very good to me. I'll have some other PWS news to post soon.
