Congratulations! This piece is very deserving of those awards! Dors told me about your art, and I'm glad she did. You are an amazing artist. I used to work in pencil all the time, but of late I've moved into acrylics and colored pencil. I'm tempted to pull out my 6B's again!
Well a double dose of congratulations from me. It's a stunning piece of work that deserves it's recognition. Happy dances :))
