A Manx artist is gaining international recognition after her painting was named among the best in a huge online competition.

Rosi Robinson from Castletown put her work 'Three Vessels' in the Saatchi Online Gallery international competition.

It was placed in the top 300, then the list was whittled down to just 30, with Rosi's painting still in the running.

Although it didn't eventually win, it's given Rosi's work invaluable exposure in the art world.

She says it was well worth loading the picture onto the web:
