A large group of us visited the Mercer Gallery recently to view the wonderful pictures produced by the Society of Pastel Artists. These are still uppermost in our minds as we work on paintings inspired by this visit.
Twenty of us have just returned from a painting holiday on Loch Awe that was enjoyable and a success, with many members producing sketches and paintings and taking photos. These will now be the basis for our current work.
Further painting holidays are in the planning stage – perhaps Barcelona in the Autumn and Venice again in the Spring – although the rate of exchange with the euro is a cause for concern! Meantime, our next outing will be to Whitby at the beginning of June.
