John Ennis asked me to post his portrait since he's not a registered member.

Honorable Mention, Portrait Society Children's portrait competition
Hello everybody,
I've been a SOG member since May 2006, but never got around to introducing myself on the Forum. (I just recently got hi-speed internet, so life is good now!) 
Anyway, this is a nice introduction! This was the first portrait competition I have entered, although I have been a full time professional for about 30 years. (An overview of my - rather varied - Fine Art career can be seen on the bio page of my website, as I know this subject more properly belongs in the New Member Introductions section.) So without further ado, here is the portrait that was awarded Honorable Mention. Details of the fabric and expression on the girl's face can be better seen here: http://kevinportraits.com/custom/faith.html
There is an interesting explanation about what is being depicted in this portrait, if anybody is interested I will post that. This is my first post on the Forum so I hope I did everything right.

Thanks, everyone! Welcome, Kevin, and congratulations to you and all the other artists who won! This came as a big surprise to me, since the deadline for notifying winners had come and gone. The other day I got a call from John Ennis, who of course was another of the finalists, and I had no idea what he was talking about!
My entry was the portrait of George, which can be seen in the "Unveilings" section, but I'll post it again here.

And a big congratulations to you too, Alexandra, and all the other winners!
It is strange what you say; I was not notified either. It was only when I received Cynthia's "congrats/please post your image" email that I realized (with a thrilling shock) that I was listed among the winners. I wonder if there are any other winners who have not been notified and have not been fortunate enough to hear about it from a third party as we two did.

I only knew about it because I maintain the Society's web site.

Patricia McWilliams is tied up with a painting deadline and asked if I would post her image for her. Here it is:
