The challenge
Can you paint a wildlife front cover for Natur Cymru? The use of
original artwork for the cover of Natur Cymru gives the magazine a
distinctive look. More importantly, it portrays what the magazine
is striving for: to get below the surface of our relationship with
nature, to capture something essential, beyond a photographic
reproduction, through the power of imagination.
What we are looking for is a picture with wildlife (animal,
plant or anything in between!) in a natural environment that would
not be out of place in Wales i.e. not tigers and not just Welsh
landscape.
