I entered the BBC Wildlife Art Competition a few years ago. The exhibition was held in Hampshire. On the day of entry, the judges take a a few hours to decide who and what art gets selected. So while this was going in for most part of the day. I visited the nearby Marwell Zoo to fill in the time. To my delight I came across some love animals including these inquisitive fidgety Tamarins. This is painting from that visit. When I returned to the art exhibition to collect my work, I found out, I had been selected and reached the finals with my painting of a small ray fish. A good day.
