judging

Have we decided what to we are doing about the judging?
I am so excited, nine of my paintings are on their way to a gallery in Virgina. Here's hoping they sell. It would be fantastic.

Orphan

I was so touched by the plight of children left without parents by the aids epidemic that I painted this. The girl is not the focus. I wanted her to almost be lost in the canvas to bring out her being so alone. I am sure that is how many of these children feel.
