What a good eye I have
During our amazing vacation in D.C. this summer we spent two days at the new Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum. While we were there we viewed the incredible Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. All the works in this competition are amazing. Vistor’s had the ability to use nearby kiosks to vote forteh People’s Choice award.
I had forgotten about the exhibit until I received this e-mail today.
"Subject: You voted for the People's Choice Winner at the National Portrait Gallery.
You have received this e-mail message because either online, or within the exhibition, you voted for James Seward's painting, My Father in the Living Room of Our 10th House.
We would be very interested to know why you chose this portrait from the fifty-one paintings and sculptures on display in the exhibition."
Some of the paintings were so real that the looked like photographs. This one in particular is so unbelieveably real.
H3 voted for the chubby Hawaiian girl, of course.
Now I want to go back and see it all over again.

Who'd you vote for on American Idol?
Your opinion matched the majority of voters? Scary. So what did you tell them?
Actually it was not a majority. 14,000 voted and 1,200 of those voted the same as I did.
My creative writing is clogged-up at the moment. I will have to make something up after I have had more sleep.
So, there were 1199 other crazy people that viewed the exhibit? ;)
Did you notice the one you said looked unbelievably real was also chosen as the first-place winner?
