I guess it depends upon their credentials. <BR/><BR/>In this specific case, I always associate Desmond O'Hagan with pastels, and I wasn't aware how much he was painting in oils. His awards and credential in his bio seem to often be in pastel competitions.<BR/><BR/>Makes me wonder how far in advance do jurors committ to a competition? Let's say it's a year in advance. Should a juror then keep this in mind as they go about the year in choosing what work to produce? Variables, variables!<BR/><BR/>Sidebar -- I do agree whole-heartedly that artists in high-end competition should not be working from someone else's photos. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for such interesting posts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
