Our Art group decided to have a go at painting an outdoor view and we met at Walton Gardens in July. The weather was kind and we gathered around the pond area, set up our equipment, and had a go at interpreting the lovely scene of the lily pond – we even had a heron posing high up on one of the trees.
Most of our group chose to paint in Watercolours, but we did have one artist using Acrylics. We have a variety of skills and expertise, but it was good for everyone to have a go, and to learn from our more talented and experienced members. A couple of our group came along to watch, and also to enjoy the lovely park which is a great local amenity.
The following pictures from some talented members had the final touches applied at home. A very enjoyable and social morning.
Members have also been busy with a painting on the ‘Living in Cheshire’ theme. We now have a number of excellent paintings which will be on show as part of the CFWI Art Exhibition to be held at WI House, Chester – more information about this at our September meeting.
