congratulations on your win. Your picture is wonderful. You mentioned mixed media. What was the media you used. I am a pencil artist, and your work is sublime.

Thank you so much, Linda, I only mention mixed media because I have to use software to adjust the photo of the drawing to make it look like the original, but I don't change it, it is pencil like yours :)
