I just alerted my Chicago friends about your paintings in Door County (& your website), being that they used to have a 2nd home there. Wonderful work, as always, Colin.

WOW! I mean, WOW!
I don’t know what else to say, Colin, except that you deserve the awards and that you are a fantastic painter.

Hey everyone,

To answer a few of your questions, the award was given to an artist, not to a particular painting. Everyone just voted on their favorite artists, so it wasn’t picking out any one painting for the honor. And all of the paintings I did that week were on 11×14″ oil primed linen panels. They took varying amounts of time. I was trying for 2 a day.

Thanks so much for checking in to the journal.

Wonderful, Colin (both the paintings and the award)! Can’t wait to hear which one got the award.

Great work. I really enjoy your style. It is very different. I am anxious to see which one won the people’s choice award. I have one picked out that I think it could have been. I really like being able to paint in competitions because it fuels both the creative side and the competitive side. But to do it for a full week must be tiring. I would love to try it someday.

Thanks for sharing your work with us.

These are really beautiful. I’ve been enjoying your journal for a while and look forward to each new post. Great work. Thank you.

I was wondering what size canvas you used for this series and how long it took for you to complete one.
