This week, as I appeared to have exhausted most of my Tenbyphotos, I turned to one I took on holiday in Greece some time ago. I have used it to have a practice go atseascapes with sunsets, and it all looks quite colourful so far. I found it difficult to get the sky smooth,and it might take another go to get it looking right. Next, I need to complete the stones that comeup out of the sea.
At art group, Sue was working on another small dog picture, andGill had completed a view of the Peak District with some standing stones, andpurple flowers around them. Karen putforward the idea of a parrot project, which seems to have caught the interestof the other members. Elizabeth was busycompleting her Scottish painting, by adding flowers to the foreground. She had brought in a framed pencil drawing ofa landscape she’d done several years ago.
We are beginning to think about our Easter exhibition now,and I have been wondering which paintings I will show this time, as well aswhich ones will look best as greetings cards. It can be difficult to sell original artwork (think about how often inyour life you have bought a painting), but almost everyone needs a greetingscard from time to time. Cards aretherefore an important part of my display and that of many the others too.
I will be helping Elizabeth get some of her paintings readyfor display by wrapping them in cellophane (she has arthritis so it isdifficult to cut mounts and it is expensive have paintings framed). I will do the same with some of mine that Ihaven’t got frames for. Karen’s mum,Madge, was a member of the art group until she died last year (I did a tributepost to her at the time), and Karen will be setting up a small display of herpaintings at the exhibition in her memory. I will give this a mention in our group’s pamphlet, which it is also myjob to draft. I also have to let about 3local newspapers know about the exhibition, which does not take long or costanything and just means e-mailing their “what’s on” pages.
