| DRAPER GRAND PRIZE WINNER Julio Reyes Tread Softly 42 X 63 in. |
Congratulations to Julio Reyes for winning the William F. Draper Grand Prize in the 2012 Art of the Portrait International Portrait Competition! This year's judges, artists Mary Whyte and Daniel Greene, and Brandon Fortune – Curator of the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the National Portrait Gallery – had a difficult task in making their decisions, but the prize could not have gone to a nicer and more appreciative and more deserving artist than Reyes.
And Underpaintings readers called it – the Popular Choice vote went to Casey Baugh, who also won an award of Exceptional Merit.
Cheers to all of the finalists on your awards!

Beautiful works! Thanks for sharing!
Cool. Mary Sauer's "Anna" painting is my favourite of those.
You know, I have feelings Jason (runs to bedroom to cry and bury his face in ice cream)
Maybe you shouldn't have made a painting so manly that it makes me insecure David!
I keep waiting for the little girl in Casey Baugh's
"Composing" to blink.
Fantastic talent all around. Congrats to the winners.
For those of use who cannot attend this year, thanks for your quick reporting and posting great images of these paintings.
I don't know how the judges managed to decide between these paintings.
I am so happy to learn that Julio won the Grand Prize, well done and well deserved! I am so happy for him :)
