David and I visited Richard in Homerton Hospital (London) yesterday afternoon and we were late getting home. When I checked our emails I was amazed to find a message from the UKCPS 'Chairperson' telling me my 'Daydreaming Tiger' picture has been awarded UKCPS 'Reserve Best in Show' the 9th International Coloured Pencil Society Exhibition (Stamford, Lincs) which opened yesterday. The picture was a practice piece which was destined for the bin but salvaged, cropped, professionally framed and entered for the h*ll of it.
I can't quite believe the email yet ... so I postdated this post until I see more evidence!! I would have been over the moon to have received recognition by way of a 'commended' award ... so, still expecting to receive a message stating that a mistake has been made .....
This is the Daydreaming Tiger - without frame:
