Osborne has been photographing trees and stumps for years. Since February 2023 he’s been addicted to sketching them. This new study led him to drawing “Bushfire Revival” for the Miles & District Show art competition, which he completed in less than 24 hours so he could meet the competition deadline.

As you can now see the experience he has gained by drawing little tree stumps which led him to winning first prize in the black and white category, along with another 4 first places for other paintings and the Miles Show grand champion award for his lizard.
