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
