HAS ART EXHIBITION

My entries for this year...

October is the month when the Horwich Art Society hold an exhibition for all their members in the local Library. Each member can display a maximum of 6 paintings and when the list of work had to be submitted, I hadn't even got 6 paintings ready, so I had to submit names and then try to paint them afterwards! The cat painting entitled "AMBER" is pretty dreadful but I had no time to try again, so in it goes. "LAVENDER" is pretty poor too, but what could I do? The dog painting "RUBY" has been entered on a Not For Sale basis since it is a portrait of my much loved pet who died recently :-( 

For most members, it's an opportunity to sell work and also have a chance of getting a Highly Commended Award or even to have their name engraved on the Judges Favourite Trophy (which I did a few years ago).


Our PREVIEW EVENING is on Thursday 26th September at 7:15pm Come over and join us for a glass of wine at Horwich Library, Jones Street, BL6 7AJ.

Our Own Art-Club!

Each Friday we go to the local Art-Club in Horwich. It's a thriving club with a broad range of people of all ages and skill-levels. Apart from the regular painting sessions, we have many professional artists visiting us to demonstrate their skills and to run workshops.

But sometimes, it's nice when just a few friends get together mid-week too, and so here we are in Simon's "studio", benefitting from the skill and experience of his father, Brian Waddington. It looks a bit cramped in there, but we were just huddled together to fit in the photo frame :-)



And you can drink beer in this club! :-)
