52nd Annual Selected Exhibition

NOW RUNNING, UNTIL SATURDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER, in the Stables, Trelissick Gardens (a beautiful National Trust venue and well worth a visit on its own) is our 52nd Annual Selected Exhibition. Entry is free.

Forty members of the Society have produced a wonderful collection of pictures and ceramics. Paintings are in a variety of media: watercolours on paper, acrylics and oils on canvas and on board, pastels on paper and on suede, inks, collage. You name it, somebody has tried it. There are framed pictures at sizes and prices to suit all pockets: from £395 for a large, dazzling panorama of a Brittany Harbour by Bryan Dawkins to £20 for a gentle little watercolour of a Bleak Day by Ian Haile. Ceramics range from £185 for a a witty stoneware ram ("I Used to be a Lamb") by Helen Savage to £28 for a bowl by Janet Burke. In between there are plenty of moderately priced framed pictures and ceramics on display, with a great selection of unframed pictures in the browsers.

At the Preview a ballot of favourite paintings produced two winners: Congratulations to Barry Pettit for his pastel "In Kennall Vale" and to Paul Hoare for his watercolours.
