Grandads and Cowboys!

Well after re- entering the ring of artists and then jumping out of it again (rule number 1 don't enter a room you can't compete with, but you try anyway, well for me anyway.

Congratulations to Yvonne for last weeks win, a 3 time winner now, she is only 3 in front of me now!

and to serial winner HelenC for the week before's win. It just goes to show like my school reports:

I must do better!!!

Game 32: Winner - Yvonne



Game 31: Winner HelenC



Imagine when i have my name up in blog lights!! You watch, someday!

Game 23 - Ship Ahoy!!!!

HelenC won again!!! (how many times, do i write this, thank god for keyboard shortcuts, ctrl + F5 saves so much time).

In all honesty it was another cracking image and we are all playing catch up, who knows i might win one day but there is more chance of me producing a picture worthy enough and it would cost me a fortune in bribes!

Well Done Helen, it reallys gives the impression of being there, all we need now is a piano that plays by itself and the sound of cowboy spurs, and men passing the ladies, with an 'evenin ma'am' while tippin their hats- well it does it me, doesn't you.........I know, another injection for me!

The Images just draw (no pun intended) me in, again have a look, great thing about photography or art pictures everyone has a different perspective and a different way of executing the image.

HelenC as otherwise known in the forum, this is your blog, well for the next bit anyway!!

Having not known HelenC before this forum, i think everyone knows her now. You can now see why is she is so respected within our little community. 'What can't speak, cant lie' so seeing HelenC at the top end of the leaderboard is now of no surprise.

A quote from one of our members about HelenC.

'HelenC is a Painter and her picture is not something that can be achieved with the click of a button. Its a working by a Corel master and simply ouzes class !!!!'
