PAINTING GROUP – EASTER 2010 EXHIBITION An exhibit of the famous
Dutch
painter Vincent van Gogh original work and letters is currently on
display in
London. One of Vincent’s most famous subjects was a vase of
sunflowers of which
he painted several.
As part of their 10th
Exhibition, the Watermillock
Painting Group on Ullswater have produced their own 32 piece montage
from one
of his famous sunflower paintings. The assembled painting measures
about 6ft x
4ft and will be on display from Easter Saturday 3 April – Easter
Monday 5 April
at Watermillock Village Hall at Ullswater in the Lake District. www.watermillockvillagehall.co.uk
Members of the group have
individually painted two A4 sections using different techniques and
media such
as pastel, watercolour, pen and ink, crayons, acrylic etc. In addition
each
artist was given the freedom to express themselves by choosing their
own colour
scheme. To Vincent colour was his main symbol of expression that led to
him
producing some 900 paintings and writing
some 800 letters during his short life. The completed montage
will be on
display throughout the exhibition along with over 100 original
paintings by the
group including many depicting local Lake District scenery. The exhibition is open
from 9.30 am
to 5.30 pm each day and offer refreshments, lunch and afternoon teas.
