The Bp portrait award shortlisters were stunningly beautiful, i was in ore of how full of emotion they all were no matter how realistic or abstract. Capturing the emotion at a moment in time is an amazing skill and in this case each painting intrigued me in how each stroke, even in the iris of their eyes were formed.
