  1. Dear Sir,
    I do the painting & my painting medium is GEL PEN. I am not a professional artist. I was painting for my own pleasure. But my wife & my son insisted me do it for every bodies pleasure.
    May I know how do I participate in your painting competition or my painting medium is eligible for participation.

    Your suggestion is welcome.

    Warm regards.
