    Default

        I have been entering this Shirley Hannan Portrait Prize for many years- this is the first time I have been selected as a finalist.
        From many thousands of entries- just 35 have been chosen.
        these are the other finalists…
        https://gallery.begavalley.nsw.gov.au/cp_themes/default/page.asp?p=DOC-IRX-62-55-37

        This is for realist portraits- very good prize money as well! :angel:
