I found out this week that this painting won the Stevan Dohanos award for the Member Open Show from the Society of Illustrators.
I'm thrilled because I've never won anything before except for a coloring in competition when I was 9(I was good at staying within the lines). For those of you that are New York based the Member Open show will be up as of Dec 1st and there will be an opening reception on Wednesday Dec 2nd at 6pm.
As for yesterday, the art director chose 'A' You can't win them all.

Fabulous Painting...congrats!You ARE the winner!
Wow - congratulations. An atmospheric masterpiece.
I love your bit about colouring inside the lines - I've only recently learnt not to worry about that. One of the biggest lessons I've learnt about my art!
congrats! I cant wait to see it in person.
Congratulations Again Stephen!
Dude, well deserved indeed.
Melanie let the class know. Congratulations on the painting! We love your work.
