Some of you will have seen on the art thread that I entered an art competition on another forum. We had to do a painting based on a photo of 2 tigers and put them in a background.
It wasn't a big competition, only 27 entries, but I have won second prize!!
I'm so excited I have to share it with someone other than just my OH!
Details, if you're interested, are on the art thread!
Problem is, I'm not much good at painting and the prize is a set of 12 Chroma interactive acrylic paints! I'll have to start practising!
