.........and this Monday a postcard duly dropped through the letterbox advising that not only had it been selected , it had received a commendation from the judges . Given that this was the first time that I have ever entered a painting for any competition anywhere , to be one of ten commended works to go alongside the ten prize winners is no mean achievement , so I am really pleased .........although having now seen the rest of the selected entries I am slightly embarrassed by my own technical shortcomings - there were a lot that were better than mine.
112 of the works go on display from this weekend at the Museum and Art gallery in Buxton , running through to 2nd September , and many are for sale.................including mine ( although posted at a price that in retrospect was a mistake ) The Derbyshire Open website is at
www.derbyshire.gov.uk/leisure/buxton_museum/derbyshire_open
........hhhhmmmmm - and so for next year I have some ideas........maybe ' What Mary Did Next ' ?
