British Painter Awarded Portrait Society Grand Prize
Andreeva Portrait Commissions painter Jean-Paul Tibbles received the highest recognition among his peers in the Portrait Society of America for his unique intergenerational portrait painting.
Santa Fe, New Mexico (PRWEB) June 25, 2008 -- Jean-Paul Tibbles was awarded Grand Prize at the 2008 International Portrait Competition of the Portrait Society of America (PSA) for a unique family portrait commissioned by Andreeva Portrait Commissions of three generations of a Texas family (www.AndreevaPortraits.com).
Grand Prize-winning portrait
Andreeva, who represents Tibbles and other award-winning portrait painters around the world exclusively, had commissioned Tibbles to paint members of a Central Texas family. Tibbles chose to compose the three women in an open embrace, reminiscent of the pose in the Three Graces in paintings by Raphael, Rubens and Botticelli.
A select group of PSA portrait painters awarded the Grand Prize of $5,000 to Tibbles at their annual Society meeting in Philadelphia in April. Tibbles remarked, "When I paint a portrait, I am recording presence, someone present in all the meanings of that word."
Tibbles has also conducted painting workshops at the Andreeva Portrait Academy (www.AndreevaAcademy.com).
