trifecta: a variation of the perfecta in which a bettor wins by selecting the first three finishers of a race in the correct order of finish (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
Wow. I just learned that three of my paintings done during a particularly prolific stretch in the summer of 2012 recently achieved a rare trifecta!
In Noenga Artist Community's October peer voting contest, my ink-on-paper painting BORREGO BADLANDS won 1st Place for Technique. Being my first 1st Place finish on Noenga, an international website featuring some really gifted artists, this would have been quite gratifying by itself.
But then, I also learned that another of my pieces, TUFAS IN THE MIST, placed 2nd in Technique as well.
And to top it all off, completing my artistic trifecta, my painting MOJAVE DAWN placed 3rd in Technique!
I really appreciate everyone who voted for my work.
Thanks so much for reading this update!
