“The Archibald Prize is regarded as the most important portraiture prize, and is the most prominent of all arts prizes, in Australia.”

This year’s was won by Del Katharyn Barton – a self portrait with her two children and titled: “You are what is most beautiful about me”

I am totally in love with it.

And appreciate it even more that she’s refusing to sell it. The rest are worth checking out too.

Of particular note: Sarah BlaskoThe Archibald, Rodney Pople
