Making A Mark

On the topic of "mark making" or "making a mark" (re PAOTY / LAOTY) if you're not sure why people say it, I suggest you read this

I'm getting quite frustrated by those making fun of certain words in PAOTY / LAOTY which are in COMMON use in the art world. So every time it happens, I'm going to be citing the definition as per the Oxford English Dictionary. Plus I'm also planning a new blog post on art terms as it appears it's time for increased awareness of where you can find the explanation of COMMON art terms.

The announcement of the NEW Judges for Portrait Artist of the Year was rather weird in terms of timing and what appeared when. So I decided to defer comment until sure everything that was being published had been published. So below (LINK IN COMMENTS) is:
* An Overview of "What Happened?"
* The NEW Judges of Portrait Artist of the Year
* The Major Disconnect around Portraiture re. PAOTY
* New Judges for Landscape Artist of the Year?
