Dd wants to be an artist and is taking part in Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year! This was filmed back in Easter during her school holidays and is being aired tomorrow night. It's terrifying! If you enjoy art, or tv or have a kid and know what it's like to want everything to go well for them, please join me in hoping the judges aren't too mean! www.rubymitcham.com
This is her self-portrait entry.

These are beautiful- I remember them from before too!
I like SPAOTY- I’ll be cheering her on!

You must be really really proud! Best luck for her!

Fantastic! I’ll be watching.

I remember your previous thread OP about your lovely, talented and modest daughter.

You are right to be proud of her.

She really deserves success.

Woah! What a talented daughter you have. No wonder you’re proud - I would be too!
I don’t know the programme but I hope, even if she doesn’t win or whatever, that she (and you!) enjoys the experience of taking part. Even getting that far speaks volumes about her talent.
wishing you both all the best 🥰

good grief they are fantastic! What a talent! Does she get it from her parents?

Newdoggo · 28/10/2025 17:29

ooh how exciting, I remember an earlier thread and was amazed at her talent - wishing her so much luck!!!
