Our Programme

April 21, 2011

Another ‘do your own thing evening’. Please bring your own unfinished masterpieces or start something new! An evening of painting with like-minded people and without the interruptions of home. Bring your own materials.

Aurora Spain, a new demonstrator to the club, will show us her work with oils. I am sure that even the non-oil painters will find her work fresh and exciting.

It’s like meeting old friends, hopefully with some new jokes. Terry Harrison and Fiona Peart will entertain and inform in a return visit to the club. Don’t forget there is always a selection of materials available to buy at competitive prices.

End of term social. Theme night, a picture using this poem as inspiration. No need to frame.
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
This City now doth like a garment wear
The beauty of the morning: silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky,
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour valley, rock, or hill;
Ne’er saw I, never felt, calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will;
Dear God! The very houses seem asleep,
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
