A Co Antrim teen has been crowned overall winner of the 70th Texaco Children's Art Competition.
Methodist College Belfast student Charley Bell, 17, also took first prize in the 16-18 year old category.
Final Adjudicator and Chairman of the judging panel, Gary Granville, Professor Emeritus of Education at the National College of Art and Design, described Charley’s artwork as"an exceptionally well executed portrait, that tells of an ‘aged serenity’, of a full life with a wealth of experience and wisdom".
"This wonderful work of art well-deserves the top award in this year’s Texaco Children’s Art Competition."The inspiration for her prize-winning portrait came when she discovered a photo of an old woman and felt the emotion in her face would be fascinating to bring to life.
