Me too! I welcome Nom back, and I'll get on with the paintings and contact you Tan to see if you can string them together later on.

I already have my theme, and the 8 paintings worked out and named. Last night I even drew out 2 of them! I'm very inspired! I also have chosen what music I want the video set to. I hope I'm just as inspired in a couple of months time after they're not turning out how I want..!

Some will be pastels and some will be watercolours this time - I haven't done watercolours since 1999!

I'm very excited to see what Nom and VW do - its going to be great!

I don't expect Nom to submit any additional paintings to be back in the contest, btw. Just pleased hes in still.
