Alex Tyng finalist in American Artist Cover Competition
 

Congratulations, Alex! I just saw the online version of American Artist magazine, and your gorgeous painting!

Thanks so much, Chris! I almost didn't enter, it's such a long shot for so much money, but I'm glad I did.

Here's a link to the painting (The Duet):

Congratulations Alexandra, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)

Wow, congratulations, Alex! I love that beautifully composed painting and I'm so glad it is getting wider recognition in this art contest.

Thanks, Christy!

If I were judging you would be the winner.

Cogratulations, Alex!
Beautiful piece, I wish I could see it in person.
Very well deserved!

Congrats!

I remember when you painted this one, and it's certainly a favorite of mine. I see your work all the time when I am looking through magazines and online, and am glad your work is getting so much recognition!

Alex, true inspiring painting! Well done, and congratulations! :)

Thanks so much, Marvin, Carlos, Lace and Michael. Your support and encouragement mean a lot to me.

Marvin, darn! Wish you had been the judge. :D

Congratulations, Alex! It's a beautiful painting.

Alex, a well deserved recognition to your beautiful work. Congratulations!

Linda, I must have just missed your post a while ago. So sorry! I wasn't ignoring you, I just didn't see it. Thanks, my friend.

Thanks also, Richard and Patty!

This is excellent news Alex, and a very lovely painting. Congratulations!

Thank you so much, Thomasin!

Congrats, Alex. This is well deserved.

Having been in that room myself I can attest that the painting does a terrific job of capturing the atmosphere of that space, too!

Thanks, Michele! I like having your seal of approval on the room, also.

I have to second what Marvin has said. Alex, this is one of my absolute favorite paintings of yours. It has such a tangible atmosphere. Really marvellous. Congratulations!

Thanks, David! I'll never forget your comparison of this one to Vermeer :exclamati --your positive response was partially responsible for giving me the confidence to enter this into some competitions.
