Well guys I've just got my results back from the Darwin Show art competition. I only placed twice out of the five artworks I entered! Now I wouldn't be so unhappy about it if I was up against amazing artworks like I was last year but it was all pretty average stuff and I can even say a lot of it wasn't exactly good. But that's the art world for you guys; there is always next year for me to try and "Wow" the judges, obviously I wasn't good enough this time.

The pieces that placed was: [link]"The Exterminators", that came 2nd, and my: [link]"Bluey Miniature" painting, both came in second place.

The others I entered with no luck:

Sorry for the disappoint folks!

Apart from that you guys can look forward to some feather paintings in the future for, *behold* I came across a baby Bronze Turkey whilst at the Darwin Show (for those who aren't familiar with the Show here, it's sort of like a county fair: animals, loud rides, junk food, competitions etc.), and I plan on growing him up for some feathers and hopefully a nice Christmas dinner (or maybe Easter if he isn't big enough by Christmas); but hopefully I get some gorgeous feathers from him before then I've tried feather paintings before but sort of majorly failed at them, but because I've been getting better at painting I want to give it a go again and hopefully make some small, quick money on them since they won't take nearly as long as my full-sized artworks (and don't require massive backgrounds). Only thing I have to do is wait for my turkey "Goggles" to grow up and make me some sexy feathers. But before then, I will have to make do with any feathers lying around to practice with until then. I am also considering starting oils.

Plus a woman is interested in featuring some of my art in her gallery. She was amazed at my work at the show and I am going to meet with her next weekend, plus she is willing to give me framing lessons (she frames artworks as well as owns a gallery). No idea how that is going to go but I'll give it a shot and if I am a success at her gallery I will have to update (well if you guys are interested, if not well too bad I'll update anyway).


And sorry those who I have artwork put aside for you, I've been terribly busy with family which is just starting to look up now. I will not forget about you just yet! I will get to them slowly so be paitent.
