Evening. How goes stuff and/or things?



OK I’ve already emailed quite a few people about this. But it’s been pointed out to me, by several lovely HoP people, that I should post it on here and get your help too



I bet you're wondering why I’ve gathered you all here. So I'll cut straight to the chase. No beating around the bush for me. Nope. Definitely not. I'll get right to it. You'll be alarmed at just how fast I get to the subject. "Whoo, that was fast!" You'll exclaim. That’s how fast it'll be. One second we'll be here talking of stuff and things, next we'll be right on the subject. Like a flash. Quick as anything...

Erm what was I talking about?





Oh right, the point.

Well a few weeks ago I entered one of my paintings in an art competition. 1st prize to get said painting on the cover of an art supplies catalogue that gets mailed to thousands or, possibly even dozens, of people all over the place. Plus the winner also gets £100 worth of art materials. Which I could really do with....



Now I've never entered my stuff into anything before, because, well you all know what I’m like. I have no confidence in my abilities. But on a whim (although I did put it off for a good many months) I sent in my bush baby painting. Didn't really think I stood a chance etc, etc...



So on Saturday morning, I was really, really surprised to get a letter from them saying that my painting had been shortlisted. And that it will be on display on their website for people to vote for until 20th August



Well anyway, I was wondering, if it wasn't too much trouble, could you go to the site and vote for my painting? It says that you can pick your top 3. And all of them can be examined closely by clicking on them. It's up to you what you vote for really. Obviously I'd prefer it if you picked mine for 1st choice. But it's entirely up to you.



Ok the address for the shortlist is:

'https://www.artsupplies.co.uk/covercomp'



And mine is the bush baby one:

and can be found on the 6th line down, 4th one along, just under *sobs* my real name(!) - So (for some of you) worth voting just to find that out I reckon

Thank you muchly in advance of your good deed.



Oh and to those that have already voted, you’re the most wonderful people on the planet. But then you already knew that I think

If they checked the bit about referring pages, they'd see a whole load of people coming to their site from 'https://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=680076', and then all voting the same

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Are all those really proper paintings? Some of them look like photos that have been played with on photoshop! (If they're all real, they're very good).
