“Now you see me” by Anne Pack
At this year’s Winter Exhibition, for the first time, the club invited the public to cast a vote for their favourite painting on show (similar to the voting which takes place during our Annual Exhibition). The outcome resulted in joint winners. Very well done to Anne Pack for her watercolour “Now you see me” and Jack Pender’s “Poppies / Seascape” in oil. Anne’s winning painting is shown above. We don’t have a picture of Jack’s painting at this time.
Congratulations to club members Andy Harrower and Hazel Evans on receiving “Commended” awards for their paintings at this years Fife Shell Art Exhibition. The exhibition will run at the Lochgelly Centre until 20th November. Very well done both.
