Garth,
My apologies for the delay in getting back to you here..
Actually I was thinking about the relationship between the person viewing the painting, and the picture plane(s) of the painting. I think that your masterful execution of edges makes the series of many successive picture planes behave. I liken this to the notion of photographic "depth of field" but unleashed from what the camera would convey. Painters have to control their surfaces, and you have done this beautifully.

Gosh Chris,
This is high praise indeed! I think I closely followed the cues of my reference photo to guide me in my edge control. I was careful to keep colors in the background passages from being particularly strident and contrast levels reasonable. I think this might contribute to the effects akin to a photographic depth of field.
Thanks so much,
Garth

That's great, I also feel I should'nt have to wish you luck. But I will anyway, just in case one of the judges is cookoo.
You should post this under member news, I got a ton-o-encouragement when my news was posted there. Just a thought.

Garth,
Just saw this painting today even if it was first posted last summer. (I've missed a lot having joined only last Sep). Congratulations on this very beautiful piece. I've gone through all the posts in this thread and I echo all the sentiments of everyone else.
I wish you all the luck in the competition in May (wish I could go...a bit far for me)...not that you need it, but like someone said just in case the some of the judges don't have good criteria.
Carlos
