The monthly meeting for July was a great
platform for our annual “Landscape, Life and
Still-life” competition. We had numerous entries
for each category, varying widely in style and
medium.
So many of the works presented were of such
high standard, it made choosing a favourite very
difficult.
A big “Thank You” must go to Lesley Charnock and Inge Semple, two experienced art teachers and SASA members, who very kindly agreed to give a brief critique on each painting submitted. A mammoth task!
They had wonderful words of wisdom to share with us and very positive, constructive criticism for each artwork.
First prize for the “Portrait” went to Penny Steynor for her watercolour portrait, with which Lesley and Inge could find no fault. Beautifully done Penny.
Laura Wenman, most deservedly, won First Prize in both the “Still-life” and the “Landscape” categories. Her distinctive, loose style and lovely sense of colour adapt well to any chosen subject matter.
