Our theme for the Summer Term

“Made in Millbrook“

Yes, Millbrook!  Southampton University are spearheading a project about Millbrook’s past, and Chris suggested that we take part in the project with paintings recording both historic and contemporary views of Millbrook.   Millbrook has a fascinating history and with many modern days subjects to paint, there really should be something for everyone.  The project has an exhibition in  July, and of course we will be exhibiting at our HOS exhibition in August.   There will be photos brought along to our meetings for members to use, and of course members can take their own photos. Exciting times!

“Pointy Things“

Our theme for the second half of the term is “Pointy Things” – let your imagination run wild with this one! Anything that has a point – pins, pyramids, porcupines and everything in between. It will be really interesting to see everyone’s take on this theme.
