Won an AWARD!

LONG LIVE REALISM!   Finally won an award in a very conceptual art environment under MSME ministry driven National competition. There are 300 who got selected for something or the other including the winners.
I got consolation!  But most are conceptual ('new' modern art). So, I guess that's a good start for me.

Thanks @Forgiveness and @Hilary I was consoled by the government...so I'm feeling better he he!  I have a feeling that competition bodies do not understand landscape painting. So, it's useless to provide any. Portraits are understood and in future I'll submit my portraits.
