• All the entries as usual are gorgeous, it gets harder and harder to pick a favorite!
• I love B&W color combination, it's my favorite. It's been so difficult to choose only 3 pieces.... I love 8!!
• All of the entries were great. The clay landscape on canvas especially caught my attention because it was like a painting on canvas. I love to paint. Good job everyone!
• This vote was very hard for me as I felt they all deserved it. This is one that I think they all thought was challenging, so I feel each one is a winner in my book. Awesome work Ladies!
