Durham Market Square with Lanchester Art Group

Saturday 31st August exhibiting with the Lanchester Art Group in the lower portion of Durham Market Square.

The boards were quite unstable and we had to hold on to them when the wind increased.

Top right are my 4 paintings.

Only one sale, my painting of Staithes Footbridge.

40 paintings exhibited on both sides of a security fencing boards on makeshift hooks.

9.00 til 4.00 sunny with light showers.

Chris organised the hanging with help from Thelma, Joe,Lesley, Pam and myself.

Olive and Christine arrived on the afternoon.

Other artist displaying their work were:-

Karen Thompson - black and white pastels. I had met Karen previously at Chester-le St Arts Society and Deerness Art Group. website

Brian Blake - fotosforart- Manipulated photos website

Meghan McCarthy - small drawing and paintings etsy store

Lady with torn collage paintings

Lady with Chinese ink drawings

and a chap with black and red paintings of local scenes.

Two of the boards did blow over because of the single arrangement of boards whereas linking in a zig-zag pattern would have been more stable.

Chester le Street art Society Autumn Exhibition 2017

CLS library from November 4th for one week.
I forgot the picture labels so I had to go home to collect them. I normally hang the pictures but left it to the others and when I returned everything was strung and in place.
I also managed to erase my photos before downloading so the photos below are courtesy of Anne Marie on her iPhone.

There were 31 entries and we had 74 visitors who voted for the best picture which resulted in a tie for first place with Jan Graham- dog portrait, Peter Robbins- Staithes and Peter Robbins- Whitby who each received ten votes. ( shown with a white cross on the photos except for the Staithes painting).

Congratulations to Hazel Clark who sold her painting of Plockton- third photo top right.
