Decisions.... Decisions.... Decisions....

 


Just a quickie post..... I need your help...  The Art and Craft Department of the  StockShow and Rodeo is having their competition starting April 1st through the 17th. But i have to have my Entry Form turned in by Mar 12 so some decisions have to be made... I can only entry 2 of these colored pencil drawings. I'm having a hard time deciding which 2...


Now i will warn you... not to get your hopes up . As a rule whenever i have entered a drawing in the past it has not done well...  But... I like to enter... i like to put it out there. I like the idea that people are seeing my art... I'd like to be a little fly on the wall to hear if people comment... good or bad... I just don't think i'm the judges 'cup of tea'...

I wish i'd given you better pictures to make your decisions with but the lighting wasn't very good.. All of these are a little brighter than they seem... The judging criteria is :  Composition/Design, Technique, Creativity/Originality, Overall Effect ..... Sooooo....?  I've thought about cutting the hand out from the background and just putting the hand in a frame but that would lose the quote.. is that good or bad... Any input would be appreciated... Gotta pick 2! Thanks! Hugs! deb

    IMNSHO if you want to submit the hand, leave the quote. I'm biased, but lettering elevates everything. I like the mythical cat drawing, too.

      oops sorry, I would pick the cat then as the second one and don't do anything to the hand I agree with CJ

    Well, they always say to Know Your Audience so that should be the first consideration because they are both of equal artistic value. I choose the hand. I like the cat but not better than the hand. Lettering...yes.
