I guess I would ask how big are the paintings? Digital copies might be called for if they are big. I would encourage it personally. Send in the products of your labors, whatever they might be (money does not count 😉 ). Also, do not request a second interview, just make it clear that you would love another chance to talk to someone or, if you are going to be in town, let them know that too. Otherwise, second interviews are on the phone. They don't expect you to fly from Florida or where ever. You can also try the direct method of calling up and asking to talk to Dean Nicholas/Frantz. I really wouldn't recommend this yet, as no one has really withdrawn yet so there really aren't any spots to give.
