I painted this to give to my mum for mothers day it says when all at once I saw a host of golden daffodils, beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.........

Just incase you all thought I was being lazy in February..........we were having a family holiday
We took our girls to Florida for our first ever 2 week family holiday, it was amazing, I hadn't relised how much we needed the break and time as a family, it was heaven and we loved every minute as I think you can tell from the picture!
Nuneaton Festival of Arts............
This took place in mid march and it was a brilliant but very busy experience, so many talented people entered!
The Exhibition closes on Sunday so if you haven't already been to see the art on display in Riversley Park Museum & Art Gallery then you need to go this weekend!
The adjudicator came to judge on the 16th March she was a lovely lady called Jhinuk Sarkar, she is an artist living in London, you can see her work on her blog......
Jhiunk was a brilliant judge; she looked closely at each piece of work and took into account everything from the tiny details to the frame used!
Jhinuk was very impressed with the exhibition, here is what she had to say about it!
"The quality in the adults section this year has been of a good standard - and there has obviously been considered thought put into the work submitted. I enjoyed looking at the variety of mediums used, the techniques and the enthusiasm to include something from the local environment.
The children's work was very colourful! The vibrancy of the work really showed the efforts involved and I congratulate every young person that submitted work to the festival this year. Keep entering your work to make use of this great opportunity at the museum. I hope you will encourage your family and friends to go and see your work on the gallery walls!
Whilst my decisions to give prizes for certain work were of my own judgement, I hope that all visitors to the exhibitions leave comments stating their own preference of winners, because the festival is all about the community spirit!"

On the 31st March we had the awards presentation for all the winners, there were 13 trophy winners and 156 certificates awarded!
Here is a picture of me with the Mayor at the presentation:
