*Notes*
* "The Poets" i.e. Moderators will be participating in this month as contestants (they deserve a break!)
* Liar, anna and pat will sit this out and take care of the details.
* The moderators have no advantage, no prior knowledge of the painting or -- even Steven.
I felt I had to say this as things sometimes get weird when contests are concerned.
*We will post more details as they come up.
*We will generally be following the format from the first contest.
The Artist:Terry Rentzepis
You can read more about him at his homepage:
website all ten thumbs
After seeing his work on a literary/art website, I contacted him to see if he would be interested in being featured on my website, and then had the idea to use his art as a challenge/contst. Pat and Liar both thought it was a good idea as well!
Terry has given me full permission to use his image for this contest and is excited to see the results.
So are we!
Good luck!
