We thank the entrants with all our hearts for joining us, it was such a pleasure to look at all the beautiful submissions and hope to see you again in the next week!
Holy Cow!
THANK YOU! I am so thrilled!
The entries were all so top level and amazing -- a hearty congratulations to the other people that placed.
I always feel that my work is a little too dark for most and because of that I tend to not enter into contest, this was very affirming and wonderful. @juliakponsford -- many blessings for supporting the artist community through these exhibitions. <3
I love dark and light and all things artistic so you've come to the right place! Congratulations, both your rabbits were beautiful :)
It is nice to have judges that appreciate the full spectrum, it's not so common you know.
:) My day is off to a grand start.
Congrats on your entry....a really creative piece of art, I love the overlays of color and your choice of palette. Awesome job!
Thank you for these lovely words, @everlove. :)
My pleasure. Thanks for bringing yourself to Steemit @mamadini.
