My first 1st!!!

Hi all
just had to share the wonderful news that I have won my first "1st" ever in the Sarina Annual Exhibition, in the Miniatures section.
It's for a little painting I did last December (also posted here with some others at the time) to try out the new paints I had just brought.
They were the Atelier Absolut Matte, absolutely wonderful paints! and although everyone seemed to like it I never expected it to be award winning material. There were 26 entries too!!!
Thanks for looking
Carla

Re: My first 1st!!!

Thank you Bertoni.
No, I haven't posted in the Miniature Painting Forum because I didn't really look at my little paintings as Miniatures, just mere experiments.
I will cross post my original as it has four of my little ones , if I remember correctly and if I can still find them!
Cheers
Carla
