I always go and look at the Annual Easter Art Exhibition at Needham Market Community Centre.
I'm afraid I didn't buy a catalogue so can't name the artists or the prices, which I'll probably get told-off about! Apologies.
Just a few photos of some of the paintings I liked.
Runner Ducks
Three tree paintings by two different artists
Bird lino cuts by Norfolk artist Deborah Key, she exhibits at all the local Art Exhibitions. I have two of her pictures on my 'art wall'
I'm not usually a fan of plant paintings but this one below of Chinese Lanterns is very colourful
General views
As usual Helen Maxfield was showing her lino cut prints, she tends to use a different main colour each year. 5 out of the 6 below are hers, the fox is by someone else
Aldeburgh Beach - a very popular subject for Suffolk painters
And Southwold beach too
There were also lots of unframed pictures and greetings cards but nothing appealed this year.
Back Tomorrow
What gifted artists. That last one reminds me of "The Shell Seekers". I read Rosamund Pilcher's book when it came out in 1987. But I am afraid I cannot remember the story at all, just that there was a painting of children on the beach! I do like the lino cuts. Thanks for sharing these (preparing blogposts with lots of pictures is time consuming)
ReplyDeleteI love to go and look at all talented artist we have - and wish I could paint!
DeleteTo load photos to the blog I just plug in the camera, click computer and they upload to google photos. Then it's just click on them and insert in the blog. Takes seconds!
I like the lino prints, but the fox isn't displayed to its best advantage I don't think. The gannet lino print I like too, and the tree painting just above that first lino print group.
ReplyDeleteI got the impression that they had so many entries and had just shown them any-old how. Usually there's something I think I would love to buy given limitless money and wall space, but this year nothing really wanted to go home with me.
DeleteSome lovely paintings in there. I really like the tree ones and the ones by Deborah Key, really lovely. Thanks for taking us along!
ReplyDeleteSuch talent on display. I like the tree paintings. and the runner ducks. In different circumstances, I'd keep runner ducks for sheer entertainment.
ReplyDeleteA very nice display. I love the tree pictures and Lino cuts.

A lovely exhibition and so many that I liked! Thanks for sharing. Catriona
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely exhibition, some very talented artists there. I am having to sell off a few of my arty bits bought from all sorts of places, as we just won't have enough space on the walls at the bungalow and we want it to look nice and simple. It's hard to choose what has to go.
ReplyDeleteLovely work. I hope they had lots of sales.
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone for comments, I hope to get to the other local art exhibitions later in the year. Always good to go and admire their work.
ReplyDeleteThe 4th photo down has captured the atmosphere os a coldand so very wet and miserable winter's day - made me hunch my shoulders to look at it. I'm not sure if I would want to look at it on a regular basis for that reason though :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Helen Maxfield lino prints.and Deborah Keys' work too. Thank you for sharing with us.
I like the running ducks too. The Chinese lanterns are lovely as well. I'd want it 3x the size.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the art work photos!! What a variety!
ReplyDeleteI do like the Chinese lanterns -- one of the plants I have never been able to grow in our garden.
ReplyDeleteI love those bird linos. There's a lot of nice art here!
ReplyDeleteOh my, such wonderful art.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
My favorite is the moon shining through the tree branches.
