Nomination: Girl alongside Lambs past times Antii Rautiolla
Post: Girl alongside Lambs
Nominated by: Casey Klahn

Mr. Rautiola, of Helsinki, paints his 3 daughters equally subjects, together with the results are intimate, together with at the same fourth dimension they select an "everyman" aspect. The angular lighting of his scenes adds to this effect.

The unloose application of his pigment keeps these otherwise personally of import scenes at the viewer's level, together with thus at that spot is no barrier betwixt the viewer together with the ideas the creative soul is presenting.

Simply wonderful.

This Girl alongside lambs icon adds a herd of domestic animals to the kid scene. The lambs are equally attentive to what the fille brings equally I am to what the creative soul does!

Nomination: "Leah at Sea" past times Taryn Day (Awake together with Painting)
Post: Leah at Sea

Scarlet past times Zachary Proctor
24" x 24", oil

Nomination: "Scarlet" past times Zachary Proctor (Sketchbook)
Post: # 46 Scarlet
Nominated by:  Regula Scheifele

I'd similar to nominate the wonderful portrait "Scarlet" past times Zachary Proctor, business office of an ongoing serial of what is to hold upwards 100 portraits.

As the creative soul stated: "These paintings (sketches) are all 24"x 24" together with are completed for the most business office inwards i session. My destination is to practice 100 together with select a present alongside all of them."

I similar the icon nominated because – apart from beingness real good executed – Zachary Procter manages to pigment a real pleasing portrait of a child, catching her sweetness together with innocence without drifting into 'overly sugariness together with kitschy'.

As alongside all the portraits inwards this series, Scarlett is shown face-on, no surroundings, single-colored background. Nothing is taking away from the whimsical, contemplative facial expression on Scarlet's face.

It's too worth looking at all the portraits inwards this serial – unique individuals portraits alongside insight passion

Black Lord's Day past times Dirk Dizmirsky
Graphite on paper, heightened alongside white ink
25.6" x 20.5" (65 x 52 cm)

Nomination:  "Black Sun" past times Dirk Dzimirsky (Dirk Dzimirsky - Drawings)
Post:  Black Sun
Nominated by:  Jessica Rosemary Shepherd

Firstly, this slice is a huge achievement showing Dirk's amazing drawing skills together with his patience. The tonal variation is remarkable together with he has approached this portrait alongside sensitivity together with wonder.

When I await at this piece, I experience sad, but I too experience thunderstruck at how amazing together with inspiring life is. The contradiction of these feelings leaves me feeling puzzled which way I await at the portrait over again together with over again for longer together with longer until I experience lost inwards it. The slice has a timeless character to it. It's elementary together with non fussy. I would gladly select this on my wall, fifty-fifty though I don't know the human being depicted. It's busting alongside life, fifty-fifty though at that spot is no color together with no movement. From the shiny eyes to the piddling chip of spittle on the lips -there is a mood of anticipation inwards this piece. I can't care but wonder what the human being is thinking about? What he wants together with where he's been? Who he's loved, who he's lost...

Nomination: David Boles (Cobalt Blues)
Post:  Candlelight II
Nominated by: Jeanette Jobson

I'd similar to nominate David Boles for Best Portrait/figure for his drawing Candlelight II on his weblog Cobalt Blues. David uses silverpoint together with inwards this piece, a touching on of gouache. His drawing is thus technically sound, something that is seen less together with less these days, that it becomes oculus catching. His depiction of texture together with values using silverpoint is masterful.

Preserving drawing abilities is crucial to all artists together with highlighting a slice that shows the technique at its finest helps select it to the forefront again.

Johanna Spinks is a portrait creative soul that I admire real much. She plant from the model, is comfortable to pigment alongside a crowd watching together with blogs inwards a pleasant together with chatty form of way.
