This is to wish everyone a happy New Year.

We are back again for a new term on the 14^th January.

A new term, new ideas and old friends. Hope to see you then.

 

 

 

 The "Artists on the Green" had a good presence at the exhibition with Carole, Liz, Nicky, Jim, Muriel and Ruth all putting their art work on display. All of our entries were very much admired but the glory at the end goes to Jim who sold two of his paintings. So, congratulations  to Jim and keep up the lovely artwork to everyone else and who knows we might have even more entries next year! Thank you to everyone who was brave enough to exhibit their work, by no means were you outclassed!

A New Term

The club starts the Autumn term on Tuesday 3rd September. Existing and new members are welcomed back. The subscription for this term will be £40.  The term will run without a break until Tuesday 17th December. The club is run for the benefit of its members so if there is anything that you wish to introduce into our programme please mention it at the meeting. 

Each term we try to run at least one themed challenge. Please give some thought to any ideas for this current term. Last term's project produced some very imaginative ideas. A separate page has been added to the blog as a gallery. If there are still any outstanding entries please bring them in at the next meeting. 

Summer Term 2024

The club is now closed for the summer break. We reopen again on Tuesday 3rd September. The subscription for the autumn term will be advised before we reopen but is expected to be the same or similar to this last term namely £40.

Thanks to Helen for the volumes from Viv's library and additional contributions from club members we now have a fairly extensive library of art books and source material for the use of our members. The current list is shown on the right hand side of the blog under the gallery list and will be updated from time to time. 

The last term's theme of "through the window" was well represented by some very inventive ideas. If you are still finishing yours can you please send it in as soon as possible so that we can set up a picture gallery. 

Many thanks for the catering at the last meeting it was much appreciated. 

Finally this is just to wish everyone a good summer and look forward to getting back in September,

 This is the finished puzzle picture. Our best one yet. Many thanks to all those who contributed, a lot of hard work went into it. 

                                                This Term's Theme

We had several ideas from members on various themes but the winning choice was "Through the keyhole, hole in the wall, view between trees, looking into the beyond etc."

In essence this is an exercise in positioning and framing your picture's subject and as such could well encompass nearly all the other suggested subjects. Possibly think of your picture as a kind of stage set where everything is moveable to show the best possible effect.
