I went along this morning and much enjoyed the pictures on show. An original work of art is always raffled at the event, and this year there is the opportunity to win a fine watercolour of Sennen Cove by the accomplished local artist Kevin Franks. Other works by Kevin are on show, including a very fine picture of the harbour in Copenhagen.
Another artist who caught my eye was Mandy Dearsley, whose attractive highly stylised watercolours of animals in the wild were very original. The two giclee prints by Mark Freeman, Breaking the Silence and Paradise Lost: thence up he flew, made a strong statement, and, for those who like literally to see the writing on the wall, the compositions based on letters and calligraphy by Ruth Steel would certainly fit the bill.
Suffolk scenes are available in abundance. I particularly liked Chris Baylie's Shingle Street, and Vivien Freeman's picture of the thames barge Betula at Pin Mill.
In addition to over 150 framed works on display around the church, ranged along the pews there are a number of unframed pictures on offer which would reward closer examination. There is also a good selection of unique greetings cards on sale.
The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday of next week between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and on Sundays from 12 noon to 5 p.m.
