[Not many entries so far to this competition – a good opportunity for SLWA portraitists. Closing date August 22nd. more at DulwichOnView>]
Dulwich Picture Gallery invites you to enter an online competition based on the current exhibition The Wyeth Family.
The Bank of America’s Collection of Wyeth Family works includes some beautiful portraits of the family and friends of these three generations of astonishing artists including Henriette Wyeth’s portrait of her husband Peter Hurd and N C Wyeth’s Young Maine Fisherman, a portrait of his son Andrew Wyeth’s friend, Portclyde Lobsterman Charlie Stone. Andrew Wyeth’s The Rebel is another beautiful example of realist portraiture.
Using the exhibition as an inspiration, create your own portrait of your family or friends.
Your entry and a brief sentence about you (if you like) will be published on Dulwich OnView and the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery’s Flickr group The Wyeth Family Competition.
