Well it was a tie at the end of voting, so I tossed a coin
BUT STP PRESS
Catherine had a much more elegant and gracious solution to a tie and they are going to share the responsibility for organising the next challenge so they should also share the honours,
SO the winnerS of the artist challenge are Catherine Pace, and her Madonna image,
and April Milani @ aprilmilani

@kali66 Oh wow ... lucky coin for me ... thanks a lot kali and oh dear ... now I have to confess my sense of slight panic at the idea of running the next challenge ... you knew your artist so well which is what inspired me to enter. I will have to do some research first. Thanks for the list and again for organising and .. Oh goodness ... choosing finalists ...
@gozoinklings I know all too well how you feel, and to be honest i didn't know my artist before the challenge, but it was a great way to learn about him. you better get googling lol. have fun
@gozoinklings Now that was fun! Congrats!!! Have you heard of Dorothea Lange? She was amazing with so many styles. I look forward to the next challenge with you=)
@aprilmilani
well done u 2 :o)
just had a look - and in truth, i particularly wanted to choose an artist known for PORTRAITS so this might be perfect
seems buildings, trucks, fields included
quick question - would choosing her mean entries largely in b&w / sepia again or did she work in colour too?
then we can decide together how to work this and when to launch challenge
thanks!
@aprilmilani my only reservation is in choosing her straight after the aberhart challenge - images appear to be on the bleak side and mainly in b&w or sepia
perhaps a lighter choice of portraiture which includes colour options :o)
could you give me your email or write cat_pace@yahoo.co.uk to discuss further :o)
@aprilmilani i know sorry for spot of confusion - do you like the idea of a contrasting choice? let me have look at this suggestion and get back to you
@gozoinklings I have so many ideas. So no problem. I will be gone until sunday night. So let me know your ideas and we will run with that. Have a wonderful Easter and God bless.
@gozoinklings Well done - I loved this image .... @aprilmilani Well done - I loved this image too :-)
In fact, when I was making my choice, I was hmming and ahhhing between the two, so I feel it very fitting that you both shared the honours !!
Looking forward to the next one !
@gozoinklings Catherine and @aprilmilani April congrats on your joint win! They are both superb images. I look forward to learning about the artist you pick for the next challenge.
@aprilmilani hello - hope you got my email - bottom line is (if u didn't) i am super happy to go with your choice april :o) hope you had a great easter weekend
well done u 2 :o)
