I'm going to try to enter a few tonight! Could it possibly be extended through tomorrow? I'm not sure I'll finish by the deadline but hopefully overnight :D

Beautiful exhibition/presentation!❄☃🤩👍🏽 I like the Edvard Munch painting, I don't think I ever saw it before.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it. Yeah, thisbone also took me by surprise when I was looking for some inspirations - it looks so normal for Munch :)
