Painting of the Year
Night Hawk by John Austin FGRA

PICTURE OF THE YEAR 2007 goes to...

He's done it again - John Austin completes a second hat trick.
Picture of the Year Award 2007 was voted for by visitors to RailArt 2007 at the National Railway Museum at Shildon. Winning painting was 'Night Hawk' by John Austin FGRA. John also gained second place with 'Blackie Namer' and third with 'Fog on the Tyne'. Because he only entered three paintings, John didn't get fourth place... Well done to Stephen Warnes GRA for 'Home - City of Carlisle'.
The win means John retains the Laurence Hammonds Award Rose Bowl, his 14th win and his 10th in succession.
