This poll traditionally has the most votes of all the polls - together with it achieved that 1 time to a greater extent than this year.

This especial poll had me on the border of my seat.  The Pb kept changing together with as it drew to a unopen I started to mean value it mightiness destination upwards as a dead heat....and hence it came to be!

The winner of the Best Picture of the Year (Place) is Pacific Passage by Robin Purcell (I've truly stood on this spot on a clifftop walk at Point Lobos (just S of Carmel inwards northern California) together with wanted hence much to hold out able to create justice to this view!

Lisa Daria was final year's winner of the Painting H5N1 Day Stickability Shield (which has been won previously past times a number of real good known daily painters).  She has been posting a icon every twenty-four hours for 2 together with a one-half years together with has a real expert argue for why she doesn't desire to stop.

The runner upwards was Glass & Floral II past times Jelaine Faunce (Jelaine Faunce: Contemporary Realism) - which was a completely unlike interpretation of icon drinking glass containers

The MAM Award for Best Picture of the Year (Natural World) on an Art Blog 2011

We direct hold a fighting of an awkward province of affairs alongside this category (and having received a rather odd comment, I've amended this department since the master copy publication to avoid whatever misinterpretation)

David J Teter who nominated Ant by Suzanne Berry let me know that, later his nomination, Suzanne  pointed out to him that she had non taken the photograph used as reference for the painting.  He apologised for his error together with for non checking alongside Suzanne first. I'd similar to give cheers both Suzanne together with David for letting me know - I'm real happy to admit that this was a genuine error on David's part.  However as the poll had already started I decided to allow the province of affairs ride together with and then run out what to create if the icon won!

Which it did.

So here's what I'm going to do.

The number is not that somebody else's photograph has been used as a reference - which of itself is non odd for those icon the natural world.  Hence the nomination was not ineligible purely because somebody else's photograph had been used as a reference.  The number was purely nearly whether or non the icon was "overly reliant on a photograph taken past times somebody else" ie the criteria I'd put down.   (This is the dot at which I started looking at an awful lot of photos of ants!)

It seems to me that at that spot are iii points which favour allowing the icon to hold out eligible.  First, ants of the same species await pretty similar no affair who takes their photograph; they also seem to direct hold a pretty express number of positions which they adopt. Second, this is 1 icon inwards a long serial of paintings of bugs past times Suzanne.  Looking at the blueprint together with composition of the paintings inwards her serial it's real obvious to me that at that spot is painterly interpretation of reference photographs. This is a painter who clearly adds value to a reference photo.  Third the shipping nearly the icon eulogises nearly the colours she's been able to convey out inwards the painting.  To me they are a lot to a greater extent than obvious inwards this icon than they are inwards photos of similar ants.

Consequently my sentiment is that the icon is eligible together with I'm real happy to allow the vote to stand.  As I indicated when choosing a shortlist I e'er await at the fine art blogs of the painters outset together with it's my sentiment that Suzanne is an accomplished painter alongside a real effective approach to portraying bugs!

The MAM Award for Best Picture of the Year on an Art Blog 2011

This is awarded to the motion-picture present which got the most votes shape inwards the poll.

It’s e'er fascinating to come across how the unlike categories fare inwards damage of the number of votes they attract together with how fine art bloggers charge per unit of measurement unlike run when they put about acting as the jury rather than the creative someone whose run is beingness judged.

The icon which won this twelvemonth was inwards a commanding Pb - across all categories - from nearly half dozen hours later the poll started all the agency to the end.  I was pretty sure who was going to win on the outset day!

The other placements, according to the number of votes cast, were as follows:
  • Second - Ant past times Suzanne Berry
  • Third - Pacific Passage past times Robin Purcell
I gauge the real difficult fought contest inwards the Portrait category ended upwards sharing the votes around rather equally!  This category has withal won the Best Picture of the Year for the final 2 years hence it was sort of overnice that other genres got a await in!
