Thank you Alexandra for your wonderful comment. You know this was third time lucky. A lot of the judges here in Australia often go for the more abstract work as you would see if you view the winning portrait in this years Australian "Archibald" prize. I have entered this one three times but havn't yet succeeded in even being hung. Here goes next year though with probably a self portrait Rembrandt style. I am a great admirer of his work. There's also the $100,000 National Doug Moran Portrait prize next year. I seem to do better there as I was a semi-finalist last year. Pamela
