PLAYFUL PETS 2020 COMPETITION

Congratulations to River the Border Bollie (and his owner Marjolein van Rotterdam) of the Netherlands, who has been crowned winner of Playful Pets 2020. This photo blew me away, one of just 850 entries received from around the world into this years competition. It was tough to pick a winner from so many great photos, but this one packs so much energy and ultimately will be fun, interesting and a real challenge for me to draw, just what I was looking for. It sums up the spirit of the competition, now into its 8th year, perfectly. Marjolein will now receive a drawing of River as a prize, keep your eyes peeled in August for the final piece.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in this years competition, you didn't make it easy with lots of great photos of your pets, I hope you had fun. Until next year!
