I gave my vote to Kaisa Not only did her illustration look good, she also had the courage to participate and show her skills...

Good job, EVERYONE!!!

can I just ask what mgwat is please? have I missed something?

swalk

Come on....... Lansturm has won on a number of occasions, be fair spread the love and vote for the Great Dane

I vited Soren this time - I liked the double emaning in the picture - the medical men who could do no more, and the dead men ditto. Clever.
marina

Soren normally gets my vote, but this time it went to Lansturm, So very moving.

I would be more than happy to buy a copy, or even the original?

Kind regards

Monthly Great War Art Topic

Not a top quality acronym, but at least as good as D.A.D.M.S. ......
.......swalk...is that your new name then??

I think we need a suggestion for the March MGWAT topic...any offers to suggest it ? Lands, as winner do you want to ?

My thanks to whomever decided to give me the poetry vote, thereby allowing me to win the poetry section!
For those less impressed, my assurance that my poetry is a lot, lot better than my artistry!!!

A hard choice this month, all were so good
I would like to join in because I do daub a bit but I'm slow and rusty so would need to know a few months in advance. Second thoughts, the standard here is so good I don't think I will!!

Well done everyone!
Congrats to the winner


Caryl

Thank you!

swalk is an acronym in the class of norwich and burma ....... soldiers salutations on envelopes sent to young ladies far away. Need a diagram?

Ah .......but can you post it ??

I thought it was the ending to 13 year old 's Valentine missives and marker pen "artistes de bus seat"

TTFN

It`s March already! New title! NEW TITLE!!! Who`s turn is it?

Yours...if you want to
Just start a new topic giving the title and inviting entries

This is my first go at the War Art competition. Great idea! I have to say I almost voted for Roger's gorgeous Lewis Gunner, but being a 2-D artist myself I have a special affinity for a good drawing. For that reason, Soren got my vote.

Russ

My turn was in January... How about our new-comer? Russell?

Fair enough, how about it Russell-as a newcomer you can pick the topic, if you wish, just start a new post entitled March MGWAT and give us your topic title (although I am a bit worried about your special affinity for good drawing... how about well intended , looking at some of mine )

Very well, then. Give me a couple of days to think on it and I'll see if I can come up with and idea. Seems that my choosing the topic should preclude me from submitting anything, though.

russ

Do n't be silly russ, no one will mind if you choose topic and submit an entry.


Annette

Hope you're putting in an entry this time too, Annette!
Marina

Marina it takes me a year or two do one of mine so I'll have to wait until someone picks a topic that covers one of my drawings and I can't do quickies

Annette

Awwww...but your work is worth the effort. maybe you could whisper a topic in Spike's ear next minth!
Marina

Marina three of my drawings are on Fran's site it you wish to look at them, by the way copies are for sale in aid of the De Diggers work.

Annette

Annette, I'd like to see some of your drawings. What is the web address of Fran's site?

Russ

Okay, I had a thought for the March MGWAT Topic. Please see the thread I started for it and let me know what you all think.

russ

Saw them, Annette - wonderful, they really are. Have to gte you into the comp!
Marina

Hi Russ


Fran's web address is www.geocities.com/dediggers but the link to my drawing seems to be not working correctly instead of going to the drawings it goes to In Flanders Fields Museum site


Annette

Hi Annette,

I needed a quick link for the exhibition fot the IFF museum. I am working on the web pages and the drawings will be back online soon.

For the moment the pages are on the following link:-

Kind regards Frans

No, Russell, the idea is everyone gets a turn at picking, if they wish. Then you almost have to submit a drawing

Annette and Soren - beautiful drawings on Frans' site. You are both very talented.

Russ

Annette, your pics are very good, lots of feel to them and emotion.
