Today we displayed our artwork at the May Fair in Nursling, at the Nursling Recreation Ground. Chris, Harriet and William were also demoing on their easels. It was a lovely afternoon, spared by the rain and good exposure for our club. Here below some photos from the day:

On the last meeting of the autumn term, we had our regular “Show & Tell” evening, along with pre-Christmas refreshments, with plenty of delicious buffet food and drinks, including the very popular home made quiche by Ann-Marie! This is a normal activity at the end of each term. Each member shows what they have painted during the previous term weeks, explaining the inspiration and the techniques used. Other members comment accordingly, offering comments, encouragement and (always) compliments.
Here below some examples of what was shown during this social meeting.
