Wow, Alex, this is great. And you kept it a secret from us til now!

Alexandra Tyng 04-24-2006 05:12 PM

Before you run out and buy a copy. . .
 
Hey, thanks, guys! I just saw it a couple of days ago myself. First, before you run out to Border's, Garth, I think it only appears online! They sent me something with a questionnaire, and it said that they would be featuring all the finalists in the different categories, at least I think that is what they are doing.

I'm sorry to say the image is really, really bad!! I will post a better one.

Wow, Alex!!!!
I am delighted for you, this is fantastic news! I am bragging to everybody that I've met you. :)

Alexandra Tyng 04-24-2006 05:54 PM

Thanks, Linda--of course I'll be bragging about knowing you at the same time. In fact I can say the same about all of you.

Kimberly Dow 04-24-2006 06:15 PM

Congratulations Alex! This is terrific - what a great month, eh?

Janet Kimantas 04-24-2006 07:16 PM

My congratulations also. Well done.

Mike McCarty 04-24-2006 07:28 PM

Alex,

What a great up bringing.

Beautiful painting and well deserved honor!

Louise T. Dailey 04-24-2006 08:28 PM

Alex,
I'll add my congratulations. This painting is magnificent!
Louise

Alexandra Tyng 04-24-2006 08:51 PM

Kim, Janet, Mike, and Louise--thank you all! It really has been quite a month. I keep pinching myself.

Mike, you know when I was answering the questionnaire I thought a lot about all the artists I love, and who influenced me profoundly, but then I realized it was my parents and their attutude toward their work that influenced me the most. It makes me realize how important it is to encourage our children to develop their talents and be what they want to be.

Cynthia Daniel 04-25-2006 03:19 AM

Congratulations, Alex!

Marina Dieul 04-25-2006 07:42 AM

Fantastic, Alex!
I add my congratulations to everybody's.

Alexandra Tyng 04-25-2006 08:23 AM

Thank you, Cynthia! Thank you, Marina!

Julie Deane 04-25-2006 05:37 PM

Congratulations, Alex! Very very well-deserved.

I love those blue notes in the dress (and the whole color scheme).

Alexandra Tyng 04-25-2006 11:18 PM

Julie, thank you so much. Actually I'm a little disappointed about the way the dress looks in the image. I set the dress up in my studio to paint from, and I tried hard to replicate the color and suggestion of detail, but it didn't transate too well from painting to slide to scanned image. A lot of the detail was lost and I'm not sure about the color either. I'm relieved it looks okay to someone who has not seen the painting.

Standing O to you Alex, you are just knocking the world's socks off!

clapclapclapclapclap!

Molly Sherrick Phifer 04-26-2006 10:34 AM

Alex, this is awesome! Sorry I haven't been participating much, but CONGRATS! No one deserves this recognition more than you do, my friend.

Sharon Knettell 04-27-2006 10:11 AM

Excellent news Alexandra. What wonderful exposure!

Good luck as the PSoA!

Alexandra Tyng 04-27-2006 11:23 AM

Beth, Molly, and Sharon, thank you all. You guys are so nice and supportive. It's almost embarrassing reading these lovely comments. You are all such terrific artists--each one of youy could knock their socks off.
