Oh gosh, I won a contest?! :O
I never won first prize at any art contest ever, so I am very touched right now ;_;. I’m so glad the judges like my entry, when I submitted it, there are so many great entries already so I didn’t expect anything.
Thank you, Julia and vachemorte and the rest of the administrators 🙏.

As soon as I saw it I went 0'0, very nice and I love that you gave a story to the art also!

Bravo @scrawly, great work and I am happy you won :) Keep on with good work.

Thank you Dunja.
I really didn't expect it, it's a total surprise, ... the very good kind of surprise ^_^.

Well, I think this reward came as a crown of your constant work here and constant evolving of your work. We who follow your work, even we don't leave comment sometimes, see how are you growing in your art. Once my professor told me about prizes, it's not only for this work, sometimes it's reward for all that was done before also. So enjoy @scrawly :)

Your professor sounds wise, Dunja.

Hehehe, I don't think you follow me, but thank you anyway for checking my blog from time to time <3.

I just noticed that, I haven't checked that follow button, mistake corrected :)
And yes, she is one wise woman and great support to me still.

That's very lucky of you, to have such a caring teacher. I'm too reserved to talk with my teachers, so maybe that's why I don't have that kind of relationship with them ^^;.

😘

Wise words and I agree wholeheartedly <3

So true @jungwatercolour. I think entering these are so important and really doing so is what really got me to realize how wonderful and supportive the art community on Steemit is! #steemitvillage

So well deserved. I love this one of yours!

Congrats scrawly! :D

Wow, third place! :D
