Well done mate, I didn´t guess this was yours at all.

Congrats Peter, guessed this was yours due to the Santa figure you did earlier Nice one and the only one really related to Christmas.

Great entry and very much fitting to this competition. Congrats Peter!! I had no clue this one was yours...

[Peter]

I’m speachless! I never would have thought that I ever could win a painting competition.

And all by accident! It was november and I had no intention to take part in this one, untill Remco pushed me to join this competition. That was at Crisis in Antwerp. There I bought this Ykreol set from Tom71 and started painting it. First Santa (wich went in duel with Paul), and then this entry. The stable took me 4 whole days to get it finished. The parts didn’t fit well, so it crashed two times! The straw is made of cocos, and the groundcover of birthsand drybrushed with GW Graveyard Earth. The tree I bought at Crisis, and I gave it a brown drybrush and once a cover with Gryphonne Sepia wash. The leaves I didn’t touch.

So ladies and gentlemen I would like to thank a few persons:

- Remco for pushing me into this one
- Tom71 for selling me the set
- Thomas Dürrschmidt for explaining me how you groundcovers like this
- My wife and kids for letting me do this fine hobby
- All who voted for this entry
- And last but not least all who was in this competition, and special Bourbaki, as being a great runner up

@Paul and Mark: you didn’t?
@Paul, Maurice, Francesco, Mark and of course you to Dani; many thanks for your kind words

I try to post more pictures on Wednesday, but don’t expect close ups from the baby . He’s so ugly!

@Paul and Mark: you didn’t?

Congrats Peter on this one

[ColeF]

Excellent work, Peter!

[Dad's Army]

Congrats Peter

A shame you didn't let me win, but I'll be back
No a real nice entry Peter, and a bit proud to get you in to this!
And a close finish, so Bourbaki: a big hurray to you to (wasn't the birthday gift you wanted, but very close)

Thanks for being a part of this competition, hope to push you in to a duel again

[Victorious Secret]

He is born by Peter!

Well, I don't know about that but me gf and I loved this vignette!

Peter I really like the setting and camera work. The ground color is fitting, subtle, and realistic. It make the viewers focus immediate under the hut. I also like what you use for the animal color. They are muted on the back to give better difinition of the figures infront.

Excellent piece and congratulation my friend!



VS

[Antony]

congratulation Peter
Excellent work and nice dio

[Das_Dirch]

Congratulations Peter
Fine Dio

[Bourbaki]

When VS quoted the title my first thoug was that Peter has a new son

[Susofrick]

A very hard choice between two favourites, but He Is Born is what Christmas is about and that made me vote for this that last time. But I loved it from the start and voted. Never could guess this was yours! A very worthy winner!

[MABO]

Also congrats from Bonn, Peter. Very crisp work and a entry in the heart of the topic!
But the other finalist was also a nice entry and a good interpretation too. So for both of you.

[Alanus]

Congratulations Peter!
