My painting “Christopher”24×14 won $1000 from Raymar’s year long competition! Each month 12 paintings are chosen from 200+ entries. From the 144 monthly finalists, 12 are selected as our prize winning paintings. The final Judge was William Scott Jennings and Here is what he wrote about my painting.
This striking portrait carries such a refined feeling of character that I was completely intrigued by it. The simplicity of the paintings’ design is juxtaposed by the intricate balance of the subject’s mood and expression. In a genre that seems to be dominated by portraits of women and children, this was an exceptional case of a masculine subject full of mystery and individualism.- William Scott Jennings
