With the world outside looking remarkably like a blank canvas, what better time to say
HAPPY NEW YEAR
to you all from Bromley Art Society's Website.
The society's canvas is no longer blank however - the programme provides the first outline of an artistic year ahead. We have some very colourful speakers, but I need to be careful with the analogies here to avoid the impression that they are just blocking in. I already feel the need to argue with October's speaker, Anthony Slinn, whose website describes him as "Probably the most unknown artist in the world."
You will find the programme online . It is also on the membership card and in the last Easel. You might notice slight differences in wording, but I think we are all describing the same events. As usual any updates will appear on the website and in these newsletters.
Our first meeting is not until February, so you will have to contain your impatience till then. In the meantime, anyone who means to rejoin and has not yet done so ...... Brenda is waiting for you. Do encourage others to join too.
I have revamped the list of members exhibitions. I am sorry if I missed one or two over the last few weeks when life has been rather hectic. I am very happy to advertise exhibitions for members, but please email me the details in as simple as form as possible. There is room for a small image.
The new list starts with a single entry from the indefatigable Allan G H Davies, who has produced 17 new oils (and only two new initials) for an exhibition entitled, and in, Dartford.
Allan would also like your copy and pictures for the next edition of "The Easel". He didn't ask me to say this, but he always does need them so I thought I would get it in first. The Easel is something we should be proud of and Allan puts a lot of effort into it - so please keep him supplied with copy. Most of it I pinch for the web site sooner or later as well.
I am sure you have all been painting away since we last met so please send him some pictures. Don't forget that we have a nice gallery of members' art so please create or refresh your own gallery (instructions are there too)
