Display at Penrith Library
Last Thursday three members of Mountains and Rivers committee spent a few hours arranging a display of Members Folk Art and Decorative Painting's along with some painted Memory boxes. Thankyou to Merriel, Laraine and Lesley, you did a great job!
The Display is on at Penrith City Library from the 8th March until Friday the 30th March 2012.
Today, I arranged a photographer, with the Penrith Press at the display, Merriel and myself were on hand to help with the photo's. Kevin, our photographer took hundreds of photos' (it seemed that way) Kevin was very impressed with the quality of the painting's and every photo the comment was, "Oh look at that" "Oh that's nice" I think he is going to have a hard time choosing his photo's. Hopefully we will see them in the Penrith press soon!
There are three glass display units full of painted items from our very talented members of Mountains and Rivers. I had a hard time trying to photograph the glass units so I apologise for the poor photo's, my camera is a Cannon IXUS 8015, digital but not SRL. It gives not bad photo's normally but not under the conditions of all that glass and lights.
Hope as many of you visit the Display if you can get there! for the country ladies who can not, here are a few photo's. How about adding a comment if you have seen the display? even if you are not a member. Thanks, Lyn.
