Oh Dear Followers...........

I just have to share this with you.

Last week our 7 year old grand daughter told us she was entering her school art competition, and could I offer some help. I put together some rough cat sketches for her, gave her a proper artists pad, pencil and putty rubber, and told her to take it home and practice. That is just what she did.

As a result her pencil work of her 2 cats was voted into the top 4 by pupils and teachers of the school, and she was all excited that this week the voting was going down to the top 3 places.

As soon as she got home from school she rang us: not only had she got into the top three places - she had WON THE COMPETITION!!!!!!

No massive prize, just doing so well was enough for her to appreciate the need to practice, and that is something we can all learn from. She did 5 attempts at each cat, and on the completed work even put a mouse in front of the cat! Artistic license.

On a very happy note, enjoy your art.
