Still lively
There's still life in still-life - that was the message from Bella Green when she gave an illustrated talk to members at Gracefield, Dumfries, on November 19.
Bella Green
Bella's talk, entitled "Still Life - Still Going", covered the story of still-life painting from Roman times to the present and illustrated some of her own work in the genre.
She will be leading a workshop on "Still-life -ways of seeing" on December 3.
There are a few places left - check with Maureen Edgar.
The next talk will be by printmaker Emma Varley on Janary 21. She is stepping in instead of lino-cut artist Joshua Miles who has had to cancel his planned demonstration.
Please note that coronavirus restrictions mean the audience for talks/demos must be limited to 30 members, If you would like to attend, please book by email to Maureen Edgar.
