The theme extends the interpretation of a “portrait" metaphorically
: it can be a 'portrait of peace', a 'portrait of solitude', of hunger,
etc. – your imagination is free to play!
If you choose NOT to
participate in the themed section, that’s fine – you can still display
your work for the community to enjoy. **All work must be for sale and ready to hang. More Info
