Wednesday’s work
Here’s some of the wonderful work produced in the workshops over the past two weeks. The main challenge was for everyone to work from a still life, while those opting out had a go at a tricky landscape.
See you this Wednesday for a new task – weather permitting of course!
Christmas party
For the group meeting on the 19th of December, best advice would be to park around the back of the school and go up the stairs there, to avoid the crowds for the school show.

Oh Christmas tree…
Oh Christmas tree, how lovely are your Santas.
Check out the group’s brilliant contribution to the Christmas Tree Festival at the Episcopal Church in Grantown. Love all the Santas!
Abirneithi Sinfonia
An exciting wee logo design project available for you guys to have a go at.
The logo would be used on A4 advertising posters and in the programme and any other literature that is required by the group that is made up of around 40 musicians.
The design should contain both words “Abirneithi” & “Sinfonia” and should be in colour.
there are a couple of examples attached for use as a starting point if you wish.

As per tradition, the show is on at Grantown Museum and will run until May 5. The museum is open from Monday to Saturday, 10am-5pm.
The quality of work this year is amazing, with a great range of subjects and media.
And big congratulations to the winner of the Gordon Crisell Shield for Best Painting – Mary Hill, for her coloured pencil drawing, Mojo. She was the winner of the public vote at Saturday’s launch.
Hope you all make it along – it’s a great exhibition. Here’s a couple of hastily snapped pictures to whet your appetite.
Happy Easter!
