We had some wonderfully wintry, festive paintings entered for our recent competition with our freinds at Search Press.

Choosing just five winners was tricky but we are pleased to announce the winning entries.

Each of the five artists receive a set of three practical painting and drawing books from Search Press:

• Simply Paint Flowers by Becky Amelia
• Easy Oil Painting by Estelle Day
• Passport to Painting by Susie West

The winning entries

Pall Mall Christmas by Rhiannon Lee

Full of sparkling festivity, Rhiannon's use of lights and darks made this Christmas scene stand out.

Connie's Snowman by Rachel Owen

Rachel's painting captures the sheer joy of spending time with little ones during their first snow.

Time for Presents! by Paul Wilson

Who wouldn't love a happy dog in a Christmas hat!

Tree Baubles by Lynda Green

Beautiful use of watercolour, we loved Lynda's close-cropped view of Christmas tree decorations.

Let in Snow by Anne Gooch

It's what Christmas is all about - a magical season for children (young and old!)

Congratulations to all the winners!
