I am attempting to win a trip to London! I'm more of a sewer than a painter, but as they say - "Youv'e got to be in it to win it". So this is the start of a painting of my Mum. I just printed a pic in grayscale onto a bit of scrap paper and started painting over the top. I have changed all the colours from the original photo and added lots of pattern. I still want to cover the walls with some more pattern, haven't decided what colour yet. Maybe chocolate or off-white?
Note to Mum - Sorry I didn't do a very good job of your nose, but I know you'll forgive me!

Well, I'd say you're a pretty good painter too! That's a lovely painting of your mom. I like your idea of painting over a grayscale image, you can concentrate more on color and shading rather than lines. I'll have to try that myself, since I'm often stymied by the lines and don't get a chance to get to the color. Good luck in your contest, I hope you win!
Thanks Kris. The nose is fine. I'm just trying to work out when you win do you take super mum with you?
Happy Easter Kristen,
This is lovely. I hope you win!!
Wow, I'm impressed! Good luck!
You really are brilliant, whether or not you win - but I hope you do ;)
No problem Mum, do you think Dad would come too???
