Our monthly meeting last evening ( April 10th) was to have a go at recreating the great work of artist jamie Sugg which was the subject of our demonstration by Jamie during our meeting in March. It was great to see Rose who dropped by to have a cuppa and chat with us. Rose has been awared honory membership of our group in loving memory of her husband Bill who was one of the founding members of the group and was for many years our chairman and chief organiser of our exhibitions. Last night also saw us meet for the first time in our new meeting place in the West End Congregation Church hall which is perfect for our needs. We also welcomed a new member and visitors which made for a very enjoyable social evening.
Opposite are watercolour landscape paintings created by Artist Jamie Sugg , at our evening meeting on 6/3/2024 at the Haverhill Library. These scenes are some of those that Jamie can see from the window of his home and provide a great source of inspiration.
