Lord Howe Island in Paint
August Members' Meeting Demonstration
Bob Saxon recently spent a week plein air painting on Lord Howe Island.  With a colourful, loose impressionistic style, Bob was able to capture much more than a photo could using his lightweight oil setup which he also demonstrated.
Tracey Miller - Macro Flowers Workshop
Tracey Miller's Macro Flowers workshop on the weekend was a huge success. Everyone came away with an almost completed acrylic painting of the flower of their choice in large format. They looked very decorative and would be a prominent feature in any home. A great group of members to be with and Tracey was so generous with her expertise. Our Art Director has already discussed having her back next year and she is keen!
