I think it's the most technically demanding and pretty painting of the four but I'd favour Distracted over it for this award, based only on these crude Internet reproductions..!Mark Sheekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710485457283053795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779419982929360563.post-65652965482565072232011-04-16T02:54:53.636+09:302011-04-16T02:54:53.636+09:30I like the Distracted one too!

I'm very familiar with Greek mythology, however, there is something deep within my core (as a woman) that gives me pause when I look at this image. Just a candid response, and not to impugn the skills or vision of the artist. Not really sure where the winner lies this year...should be interesting.Candace X.
