So, since there were so many great entries in my Cutest Photo EVER Contest, I wanted to pay homage to some of the contenders that may not have garnered as many votes, but that I would have been really excited to paint. Here are my top ten. (Please keep in mind there were some other seriously cute pictures that I didn’t include…it was really hard to narrow them down to just ten. I was initially going to show my top five..can you imagine?! Impossible!)
TEN
Lee – Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
“Where is Nova”
NINE
Silja – Minden, Ontario
“Easiest Way to Bathe A Baby”
EIGHT
Rachel – Kanata, Ontario
“This is my daughter Kyra @2 years old visiting the deer park at Marineland. This has always been my favorite shot, I love how she and the deer seem to have the same expression on their faces. I’ve always wanted to get this shot framed and put it up somewhere for everyone to see, it’s too cute not to.”
SEVEN
Lise – Calgary, Alberta
“Hello Ladies!”
SIX
Sandy – Sedgewick, Alberta
“Blondi”
FIVE
Woody – Danville, Vermont
“Lollipops”
FOUR
Sloane – Calgary, Alberta
“Leighton the teaser! As if he’s gonna give up his chocolate bunny!”
THREE
Mandy – Dundas, Ontario
“Hey Crazy eyes!”
TWO
Cedar – Lanark, Ontario
“Jack and Maggie in the laundry basket”
AND THE NUMBER ONE CUTEST PHOTO THAT DIDN’T WIN THE CONTEST…
Vanya – Salmo, British Columbia
“Kissing ‘furry’ brother!”
Thank you again to everyone who participated. It was just a delight to see all of the entries roll in every day. I do hope I get to paint some of the beautiful creatures that made it into my top ten.
And stay tuned to see the completed portraits of the winning photographs. Coming soon!
