Impressions Art Awards

Last month I entered a National Art competition organized through the Nelson arts council and Impression Art business.
I have never entered an art competition before, so it was a lovely surprise that one of my paintings was excepted and was on show for about a month.
My painting is a self portrait with my cat, I was 20 years old and I painted this portrait of a photograph taken at teachers college when part of the curriculum was studying photography.
I have great memories of that time in my life, I don't look the same anymore on the outside,but on the inside I sometimes feel like that girl so many years ago.
