Results from National Portrait Gallery competition

Well, I got the bad news from the National Portrait Gallery competition yesterday. Didn't make the semi-finals. Guess my painting of my grandpa will have to hang in the MOMA instead of the Smithsonian. Haha. All kidding aside, I'm bummed, but have always known that the art world is a competitive place. I'll be back in the game soon enough.
