    Professor Emeritus Peter Bagnolo Rosa:
    I just voted for the above in what looks like the 2nd to last round, between you & three others. My sense is that it will boil done to you and the Italian artist who does these close-ups which like watercolor, face of gal on phone this time. de Gregorio I think is his name
    Good Luck

  53. Steven DaLuz
    Steven DaLuz While I feel this is an average painting, the narrative is strong. I gave you my vote. I cannot bear to see a mediocre photograph of a bicycle and a dog walking down the street win this thing. If that photo is the best work out of 5,700 entries, the art world is in deep trouble! This competition is really not about the best work anyway...it's about who can muster the most votes. Good luck, Rosa.
    March 7, 2011 at 4:04 am
  54. Arno Diedrich
    Arno Diedrich Rosa, your art piece got my vote again,

  55. Dato  Mio
    Dato Mio I saw this work yesterday at the Scope art fair. This piece stuck out because so much of the show was about nothingness. I appreciate the way this painting is connected to our modern reality.

    Oleg Zaika In my country such works, painted from photographs, are not considered painting.. For the true artist to draw from fotogrgafy considered a disgrace.

  68. Chai  South
    Chai South Just wanted to wish you good fortune, your work. Not that the work your up against is not good, it just the subject, the contradictions of life, both worlds oblivious to another, the in your face affluence, yet the power of the painting is not overwhelming in its juxtapositions.
    March 9, 2011 at 1:20 am
  69. Venetia Gazila

    Tracie Thomas This is sooooo real and yet unreal. Such a good piece of work. Beautiful but also the story is touching. I absolutely love art with a story in them. So many just do a focus not something that seems to mean something. Where did you get the idea from?
