William’s portrait:

I call this one

do not disturb under pain of death

I have done something similar in the past but with macaroni and PVA glue

It’s pretty good except it’s a bit dark.
A Portrait of Jenny is also very good but again too dark for my liking.

Fail

Voting has to be done at the gallery (in Perth).

I was hoping to entice some of our WA folk to go in to the gallery.

I didn’t say who I would vote for :P

I realise that, Arts. I expect you’d vote for the painting you most like.

I’m biased (without seeing the other paintings) and am drumming up interest in the exhibition, whilst secretly hoping William wins. Mind if William does win, his father will become an intolerably proud parent for a while.

Is the voting still open Micheal?

Do you have to go the place to vote or can you do it online?

?

Have to go to the gallery. No on-line votes. Explained earlier…

Cheers Micheal..I suppose I should have read the thread properly.

(this prize interests me strangely)

Now William has been selected as a finalist for this prize, whether he wins or not, he is eligible to enter the Archibald.

Oh great. I am genuinely much impressed by William’s entry.

And I dabble in portraiture myself.
