🗣️ Hearken: What do you wanna know, Philly? My local news platform has gotcha covered! 🗣️
In the heart of the city, a remarkable masterpiece was granted the top spot at the Portrait Society of America's 2025 international competition! Artist Joseph Daily's painting, featuring former Mayor Michael Nutter standing in Dilworth Park, swept the judges away.
Daily reminisced about the photoshoot, recalling Nutter's cordial and obliging demeanor, even in the face of sweltering heat and eager fans vying for selfies and chats with the beloved public figure. One particular moment stood out to Daily; "The light, the sun came around just enough that it was starting to illuminate the columns of City Hall, but not completely wash the building with sunlight, and I immediately thought, 'This is it.'"
The cooperation of city officials in transporting the painting to Virginia for evaluation was greatly appreciated by Daily, who noted the portrait garnered a fantastic response from visitors during its display. This isn't the first time Daily has made it to the finals, having been a finalist four out of the past five years.
