On 11 March Ken Friedman proposed his drawing research prize.  The entries
were few, perhaps because the deadline of 21 March was not convenient to
some members at the end of a busy spring term.  Ken has generously agreed to
set a second competition and this time we will allow a longer period for
responding.  Therefore, rather than extend the deadline for the original
competition as some requested, I will declare Katrinka Wilson the winner of
the Friedman book and I look forward to seeing Ken's next stimulation to
drawing research.
Thanks to all who entered (early and late!).
Regards,  Steve Garner.

Katrinka, congratulations and please communicate with Ken about which Amazon
book you would like as your prize and the posting details.
