Dear Huiyiren:
The portrait competition in America is more or less money oriented. I was contemptuous to their judgement.
Because the #1 artist in the U.S. approved my two strong points: likeness & group composition. If it was in China, they would support this theme. But he is not in the first round selection panel, in which some members have sort of interest conflict with me.
I'll paint the same theme, except eliminating two other figures, for the 2010 conference, I might visit Mr. Kinstler.
For the art book, I even don't want to disclose most of my finding as along as I'm a practicing artist.
Thx, my DEAR FRIEND!
Thank you
