Thank you all for the wonderful comments and support! For one last hurrah, I have entered this painting in the National Portrait Gallery, Washington DC portrait competition. I must wait for October to see what happens there.
After that, I will probably retire this one to the vault but it has been a fantastic ride!
Hi, Myrna: May I join the throngs of those who know you and admire all you do....even the ones you call failures...and add my congrats. You're truly a star.

Congratulations! This is a raw and honest piece and I admire you for showing your soul. It makes me want to know you. Beautiful.
I love this portrait, when I first saw it, I sat & looked at each frame very closely. I see why it was a winner.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
~Amy~
I had no doubts that you would end up with a huge nod from the judges!
A whole hearted congratulations!
I was going backward through your blog this afternoon and came across this posting. I am so very impressed! Your portrait series was the first thing I noticed about your work and it drew me back to your blog several times.
Mazel Tov!
