Sue Clinker wins Best Domestic Animal Portrait!
 Our Silver member Sue Clinker told us "I was over the moon to win Best Domestic Animal 'Jack Russell Terrier' at the UKCPS 10th Annual Open International Exhibition." Sue all told us that our fellow Starving Artists Lene Daugaard and Karen Middleton (and former Starving Artist Bev Lewis) won Highly Commended awards! Sue will be donating part of her prize to the Air Ambulance Fund, as the London Air Ambulance flew her stepson to the Royal London Hospital following a motorcycle accident in April. |

Our Gold member Linda Weil has completed the writing and illustrating of her book "Lifelike Animals" in association with Walter Foster.
You may recall that our Gold member Diane Wright was contacted through Starving Artists by Walter Foster and contracted to write a book for them. It is now available!
While the book concentrates on the many bridges, it is full of interesting anecdotes and stories; and it helpfully gives the true meanings behind the Anglicised original place names. The final chapters give general information on such diverse subjects as Rod Fishing and The River Gods of Edward Smyth. It's a most interesting read and generously illustrated by John's accurate pencil drawings.| Latest postings |
