I will hopefully watch again this evening, as I actually fell asleep towards the end! Saw the winner but not the final selection. 😩

Tessa, I also fell asleep watching it on Wednesday - saw the repeat last night, though,  and managed not to miss any this time.  Wasn’t impressed with the winner, it was probably the one I liked least overall!  I think my favourite was the wildcard winner’s very atmospheric and rather stylish painting.

The wild card winner studied at Gray’s Academy and went on to gain an MA. She is well known in the area etc. Often the wild card entrants are just as qualified, if not more, than the “ pod” entrants. But it’s lovely to see their joy when selected.

Jenny, I managed to stay awake also! It was a great view to paint, and many of the wild cards looked really good this week. I assume that you can’t apply to be one of the wild cards, which I think I’d prefer to being a pod person! You can at least choose your view and don’t get interrupted so much. It generally looks more fun. Marjorie, it’ll be interesting to see if the wild card winner gets any further. She certainly was confident and proficient. Looking forward to next week.
