Contests

Art Contest: Paintings

Ahhhh! Sluggo is finally left alone to paint whatever he wants. No more bothersome buggy busybodies telling him what to do. Just the peace and quiet he needs to hear the faint whisperings of his own artistic muse. In gratitude, Sluggo has suggested that, for this month’s contest, it would be a great idea to let Cricket readers paint whatever you want.

What will you feel inspired to paint? A Chinese princess? A beautiful landscape? A still life vase of spring flowers? Or something only you can see in your mind’s eye?

Everybuggy says that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Sluggo will be dashing to the Cricket Country mailbox--well, going as fast as he can crawl—to behold the wonderful paintings you send. Ahhhh!
