painting contest entry(busy busy)

Sorry for being MIA ladies, I have been
painting this past few days.
I'm currently because I decided to join a nationwide art contest
sponsored by Shell Philppines.

I am joining the
"42nd Shell student's national art competition"
I is a nationwide art competition
wherein students can join the said contest.


my entry would be "festivities"
how filipinos celebrate festivals,
wherein I choose Pahiyas festival in Quezon Province..

I'm painting in a 2x3 foot canvass.
How big is a foot?
it is as big as a meter(you ca measure it by spreading your arms)
a quarter of it is a foot.

Sorry cuz these images are still unfinished,
I still haven't colored the human body parts,
only the clothing and the background.

I'm currently at the 20% of the total canvass itself.
I hope i can at least be at the top 3, hehe
I'm so anxious because I have always wanted to join the competition
since I was in high school.

I over cramming right now cuz the said competition is due this
Aug 21, 2009
And I have a least 2 days to finish my painting!!!
we are only allowed to submit this aug 17 only!!
