Hey, sorry your painting didn't make the final cut, but: top 100 out of 4000! - nothin' to sneeze at. And as I'm sure you are well aware, at that level, it's then down to the whim of the juror(s). Another jury and the final 50 would be totally different, with you getting the Grand Prize. Ultimately, it becomes quite a subjective affair. But keep entering these competitions because I want to see more of your work in person!
