Start of new season

I am so looking forward to the start of new season.  You will all have your syllabus' very soon.  We are certainly in for a treat over the winter months.  

Our first demo guest is local artist,  Lucy Chisholm.

Here are a few words from Eleanor Boag on Lucy . . . 

"Lucy was born in West Kilbride, where she still lives & works today.

Lucy trained at Ayr College & now runs her own gallery "Sandy Lane Gallery"

in West Kilbride.

She works mainly in oils using a variety of utensils ie sponges etc. &

works in a colourist style, mainly landscape. Lucy also holds drawing

& painting classes at her studios."

How good does that sound?

A report on Lucy's demonstration will follow in the next newsletter.  

I have also had some photographs sent to me which show off what our neighbours in Dalry have been up to this summer.  I do hope that some of you managed along to their exhibition.  Here are the photographs below.  My thanks once again to Robert Clayton for supplying them.

Once again, I would like to remind you that you all have a free, 365 day-a-year gallery right here on this blog.  All you need to do is send a photograph in an email to me and I will publish it.  Stick a price on there too.  I had a quick look at our newsletter's global audience since the blog was started up.  Below is a list of the countries who have been looking in and their viewing figures.

Someone out there may want to buy your work or commission you.  Since starting my own blog I have been given an open invitation to do workshops in south west France.

I will publish the next newsletter very soon, so keep this on your favourites.

Welcome!

Welcome to the world of blogging.  This is the official New Cunninghame Art Club's blog.  It is easily accessible to all members, just add this Link to your favourites.

I am Brian Morrison and I will be the author of the Club's blog, which is going to be a sort of newsletter about all that is going on within the club throughout the year.  I already have some photographs from the exhibition opening night, which will be posted here soon, along with a report on how the exhibition was attended and how successful things were with sales etc.

I also hope to keep members up to date with demo night reports and photographs.  If you liked what you have seen at a demo night, pop in here and read about the artist and view the photographs taken on the night.  I would also like to share your views here on anything to do with the club.  Just let me know what you wish to be added to the blog and I will endeavour to display it here.

I am sure that this will be a valuable addition to the club and it is only a click away.

Best Wishes

Brian.
