This year I decided to enter Lilla Roger's Global Talent Search. Although I did not make it to the top 50 short list, I really enjoyed working on this project. The theme was "terrarium" and one of the criteria was including some kind of saying or at least one word. I really put a lot of thought into this project but after seeing everyone else's submissions, I felt my final piece was really lacking. I realized I still have a lot to learn and a long way to go. I may have the skills in execution, but I really need to push further to develop my pieces. Please check out the full gallery here: FULL GALLERY or TOP 50.

I really wanted to complete my Nautical piece. I've been working on it for the past couple weeks and I think I've finally got it to a point where I am happy. I'm excited to print this and hang it in my son's room (when he's ready to have his own room).
