Talk with slides by Chris Christoferou 3.8.11

Chris Christoferou came to Virginia Water Art Society today to talk to our members, the subject being "beauty in your back garden" however Chris has the most unusual visitors to his garden the first half of his talk covered wild cats  and jungle animals which of course were not residents of his back garden but his paintings were extremely good and his slides showed how he had decided upon his composition in order to give the best to his paintings the second half contained slides of genuine inhabitants of his back garden with the most beautiful pictures of wildlife which Chris was very knowledgeable about,  his talk was most entertaining and very instructive. He also donated one of his very fine prints as a raffle prize which was much appreciated. The members of our Society enjoyed Chris's talk and found his composition tips helpful and inspiring  

Summer Exhibition 9th July 2011

Virginia Water Art Society Summer Exhibition 9th July 2011 held on The Green Station Approach Virginia Water Surrey

This year we decided to hold the exhibition in July instead of June hoping for better weather and also less clashing with other local events.  We did have one or two showers throughout the day but but the hardy Artists braved the weather and stuck it out covering their paintings with polythene until the showers passed.  We had with lots of interest from the public and sold 19 paintings lots of pottery and some jewellery and were rewarded with a small profit. The event is the highlight in our social calendar and a chance for all our members to catch up with each other and was most enjoyable.
