Featured Artist
Yvonne Francis
I always enjoyed art at school and into my twenties, but it became non-existent when the children arrived! I returned to painting 10 years ago when they had left home. I use watercolour, acrylic, pastel, and pen & ink, and would love to try oils, but lack of space at home restricts this; maybe one day if I can manage a little studio. This particular picture was done after an extremely enjoyable holiday in India.

the march exhibition proved to be the most successful we have had both with sale of paintings and visitors. Demonstrations by members of the group continued throughout the day. Notelets were on sale designed by our artists, these were extremely popular with the public. Yvonne Francis won the public vote with her painting of the ‘Taj’. Colin Litherland from Meltone Gallery judged paintings in various categories, the winners of these were Betty Lee (Lighthouse). John Green (Red Circus) and Jane Riley (Bethruthan Steps). All of these artist won awards in the form of art vouchers.
We would like to thank all our regular and new visitors for supporting our exhibition and we look forward to seeing them at our winter exhibition on Saturday 28th November.
