Portrait Society of America entries!


Today was the last day to enter paintings in the Portrait Society of America's Member Only portrait contest. Their are five categories that you can enter paintings in and I entered three. This painting "Forget Me Knot" was entered in the "Out of the Box" category. I entered this painting in this category because the size and close cropping make for some interesting comments by viewers. Comments as to who the people are (same or opposite sex), what they're doing, or even what body parts we're looking at. And the painting is relatively large, 34" x 34". The breast is about the size of your head. That made some old bitties uncomfortable.

As a new member I'm just happy to be in the contest. Any recognition at all will be just great.

About Me

My photo
My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
