The winning artworks from several young Donegal students have gone on display today.
The works from the three budding Donegal artists won awards at the Texaco Children’s Art Competition.
Today they got to see their works in lights at the display in the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh, as part of an exhibit celebrating 70 years of the contest.
Leanne McBrearty’s striking “Covid Punch” piece won second place in the Category G section of the competition, adding a relatable take on the last few years.
Meanwhile the other two Donegal winners are also brothers – 6 year old Charles Gallagher and his younger brother Neal won second and third places respectively in the 6 years and under category for “Moo Moo Rua” and “Sunshine and Rainbows”!

Little Neal (Bernard) Gallagher from CPI Creche Lifford, Co Donegal who was 1 year old when he put crayon to paper, points out to his mother Orla his colorful entry “Rainbow And Sunshine”.
The pieces will be on display in Omagh until the 24th of February.
