CHALLENGE RESULTS (MARCH 2021).
This month's challenge covers two possibilities, as it is both St. David's day and St. Patrick's day in March, your subject should reflect Wales or Ireland, or just use the photograph shown below which is of a Welsh horse drawn canal boat on the Llangollen Canal.

Please see the judges comments below.

The Judge, Nick Hampshire (President of our Society), has made the following comments:

As usual very hard to choose top 3. I do hope that none of the artists feel like they have missed out. I genuinely could have gone with any of these great paintings. But a decision had to be made and the winner is No 9 and two runners up are 6 and 8. Well-done all the artists for making this decision so very difficult.

The March entries are shown below.

1 - John Rogers

2 - Susan J. Smith "The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland."

3 - Susan Ewing "Snowdonia"

4 - Keith Manning

5 - Ann Thompson

6 - Pat House

7 - Nadine Jones

8 - George Wright "Portmeirion".

9 - Maureen North
