A great site: The Royal Collection – e-Gallery.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen… lend me your artwork!

Yes, the art pages have returned! “Mandy’s Royal Artists” was a series of pages featuring the public’s works of art based on a royal theme. Found on Mandy’s British Royalty several years ago, the pages were lost during the website’s transfer to a new server. Now they return in the form of an art blog.

If you have previously entered work but don’t see it here, there is a chance it has disappeared. Please resend.

If you would like to submit anew, please see the “About” page to contact me. You can send a scan of your work (in any medium) to be featured here. No more than 3 please.
