My favourite so far is the colourful paint pots by Metin Amiroff: http://www.gimp.org/contest/gallery.cgi?display=image&name=20041202090612748 6 Or maybe the paint tubes by Andreas Nilsson, I can't decide: http://www.gimp.org/contest/gallery.cgi?display=image&name=20041202090610747 8 I think ones featuring the traditional artist's tools are some of the best, although some of the bold flower-based ones are good too, eg: Brandon King's chrysanthemum against a desaturated background: http://www.gimp.org/contest/gallery.cgi?display=image&name=20041202094328970 6 Or Becky Cierpich's flower & digital background: http://www.gimp.org/contest/gallery.cgi?display=image&name=20041202094428993 6 The standard of entries is (by and large) very high; I'm impressed.
