"Odyssey" in Finals for Saatchi Online "Showdown"



On a fluke, I entered this piece, "Odyssey (After Bierstadt)", 48" x 48", into the Saatchi Online Showdown. The entry was free, and the winner has a chance for exhibition of the work in the fabulous Saatchi Gallery in London. So, why not? I thought nothing more about it until I learned it had made into the final 128, after surviving a field of 5,716 entries! At the time of this writing, it appears I may make it into the final round of 16.

piece is a derivative piece from a work by Bierstadt.
