    BBC Wildlife Artist Award

    Nothing to do with kilts this but I just thought I'd share.

    My Nephew Richard has just won an award in the BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year 2011 in the category "Visions of Nature" for a painting he submitted titled "Argument".



    Overall Winner and other winning entries and runners up from other categories can be viewed here.

    I'm proper chuffed for him.

    Oh well done! That is wonderful with very cleaver observation, very well put together and brilliantly executed.

    Please pass my congratulations on to your nephew John. He appears to be very talented and cheers to him on the recognition.
