Joint winners in our Competition on 24th October were Brian Eley and Mary Lovell with their pictures inspired by the works of David Shepherd. Brian used acrylics for his excellent interpretation of the pride of lions and Mary's well observed study of the elephant was in graphite pencil. Congratulations to them both. We had some other excellent entries this week on all three themes: David Shepherd, Guiseppe Arcimboldo and Light and Dark.
