This is beautiful, congratulations :)

Thanks Muhammad, Mary. :)

Boo. Got rejected.

Lovely portrait, though!

Dude, it's still great, if it was rejected now,
your best work is still ahead of you.

Thanks. I am a bit bummed out, but will get over it. I have a friend who has offered to put me touch with a guy in Fort William who likes to set fire to official buildings and such like; I might give him a call after I pick up my painting.

(JUST KIDDING, BY THE WAY)

(I really hope a fire doesn't break out at the RSA now)

Lol, I think its safe to say that you're not as lucky as Mr. Bean.
