I made the statement last year that I don't compete any more. However I am entering my Lyneham painting in the exhibition in February. Its not to compete and I really don't want to sell the painting, more of a I am here and putting my money where my mouth is. Last year I went and thought to myself, "I can do better than some of this stuff". I have no idea if there is a prize or not, I really don't care. Its about getting to a level, changing my mind set and encouraging others to enter along with me.
But laugh, when I went to buy the hanging material, the lady who served me was so blown away by the painting that she forgot to charge me and I got half way down the road and realized I had not paid. When I went back in she was standing there all dazed like. I said - you going to charge me or what? She just laughed and said "I am so caught up in your painting,you could be the next Picasso.... and I am the shop owner.... I was suitably chuffed.

Ive named it "A Mother Always" The words around the painting can be read Always A Mother or A Mother Always.
