from the Flower Festival in Old Newton church..............yesterdays post.
(With the village school being over a mile from the village, it's absolute chaos here at school start and finish times - almost everyone drives their children to school, then they all park on the narrow road with lots of bends. Much quieter on a Sunday)
Just a small Art Show.
These two are felted textile art.......... £65 each
I liked this one that had sold, pen and ink - Washing Day. £20
Flowers in Linocut - £85 each
This was BIG , very 'in your face'. 'Shelley Summer' . Oils £500
I'm enjoying my visits to art exhibitions.
Back Tomorrow

I dearly love old village schools - any chance of a few more photos of the building (outside of school times, of course). That arework is rather appealing too. I love the felted art.

The design is like so many others in Suffolk, all built at much the same time. Victorian red brick.(with lots of new bits added on all round)
DeleteOne day I would quite like to spend time doing some flower lino cuts - I do like the ones in your photo. You can find some real talent at these village art shows - I discovered a friend of mine is an excellent artist by spotting a picture of his in a village exhibition!
ReplyDeleteI seem to hone in on the lino cuts in all the art exhibitions I've been to - hope you get time to do some
DeleteI liked the washing line best. It is lovely to see the work of talented local folk displayed like this. On subject of washing lines - it's been way too wet here to hang stuff outside. Hoping for a bit of June sunshine....
ReplyDeleteYou'll find when you move to Norfolk that there are more fine days for getting the washing dry outside!
DeletePleased you had a nice weekend. The Art is very interesting but I loved the Washing line and can understand why it was sold.
ReplyDeleteHazel c uk
All the best paintings had sold already which was good to see
DeleteIs the school still in use? Ours unfortunately closed down several years ago but we still have a school in two nearby places that local children can attend and still feel local.
ReplyDeleteYes it's still a village primary school. It's not where son and DiL live so not where Willow will be at school
DeleteFor £20 I would be hard pressed not to buy that sweet pen and ink drawing myself. No wonder it was snapped up! You can often find a great deal in these local art exhibitions.
ReplyDeleteA lot cheaper than many of the other art work there
DeleteLoved the washing line myself as well as the lino print flowers. So nice to get and about.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to support local events
DeleteWe love the local artist shows and trails especially if coincide with an open garden or flower show. Have found in Norfolk these happen more in south and on Suffolk .borders. recently have been to a couple that are just over in Lincolnshire. Love domestic art subjects although not found of housework. Sierra.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be things going on in so many villages around me
DeleteThank you for that. Interesting to see what other artists charge.
ReplyDeleteAll sorts of prices of the different art works in this show
DeleteMy favourites were the felted art and the pen and ink washing line. $20 was a bargain. The flower show from yesterday was lovely. An interesting theme which seems to have got the creative juices flowing.
ReplyDeleteAnother art show on nearby this weekend
DeleteThe pen and ink drawing was just perfect.....and I would have definitely paid £20 for it....
ReplyDeleteme too
DeleteIt is lovely to see a field without hedges round it. There were many like that in Lincolnshire when we lived there but have seen none since those days.
ReplyDeleteSome farmers like hedges others don't!
DeleteWhat a lovely show! I love the pen and ink washing line best. It seems like you see many more felted art projects these day. There is a lot you can do with felted wool.
ReplyDeleteI like the felted art textiles too, but would never have the skill to do it
ReplyDeleteI like the Washing Day as well. I think it is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
