I very nearly forgot to post about my recent triumph in a poetry competition!
OK, that sounds rather boastful of me I know, but I’m the kind of person who rarely, if ever, wins competitions so I’m quite proud of myself. The main reason for posting was to thank Nicole Hyde for giving me the opportunity and to encourage people to go and have a look at her blog, Nicole Hyde Fine Art
Nicole is an artist from Colorado who states a preference for working in oils and if you can spare a few seconds I’m asking everyone to go and vote for a painting she has entered in the Saatchi Gallery Showdown – it is a very moody landscape and it would be great if we could help increase the voting for her – not that the painting doesn’t merit our votes, but hey, bloggers help bloggers right? You have only until April 9th, So – Click here to place your votes
Good luck Nicole and let us know how you get on.
I can’t wait to receive my prize – thanks so much – I shall put a picture up for all to see. Oh, and look out for future competitions at Nicole’s blog, and you too might win one of her excellent paintings – just like me

Hey, that’s so cool! Thank you so much for the plug.
I’m delighted you won the painting!! Lots of fun, that I hope will grow in future contests.
I’m so glad our paths crossed!
Cheers,
Nicole
Congratulations on the Poetry win…and I think it’s totally okay to toot your own horn!
I voted for Nicole, but I may have been too late.
Thanks Cynthia!
Have a great Easter weekend – looking forward to hearing how you get on with those galleries
