Congratulations to Deborah, winner of the “Favourite PaintBlog Artist” giveaway!
While it was never my intention to declare a “winner” among the artists I do believe it only fair to give kudos to Tiina Heiska (whose painting sits atop this post) for being named on three different occasions as a reader favourite. Four other painters were singled out more than once; Mary Jane Ansell, Yury Darashkevich, Terry Miura, and Eric Zener (paintings by each artist to be found below the fold, in alphabetical order.)
Thank you to everyone who participated, it’s been a great opportunity for me to reflect back on these past two years and remember just how many amazingly talented artists are crawling over this old globe of ours, creating incredible works of art.
