For Bella

I believe this award was created in support of Bella Sinclair whose husband sadly passed away suddenly in June. It recognises the amazing artwork, inspiration and friendship Bella has shown through her wonderful blogging.

I have long followed Bellas blog and so was doubly touched to receive this award from the lovely Brigitte. Forgive me for not passing it on (as those that I would pass this onto have largely been covered by other bloggers). However I do want to display this in support of Bella and the importance of the care and inspiration this online world can provide artists at all levels x
