Christmas Exhibition in the Weavers Gallery

The hanging crew
Many thanks to the hanging  crew (Tony, Ian, Sarah, Daph, Kate - and Sue who took the photo) who worked for several hours on Sunday night to set up the exhibition.


The doors opened to the public (28 in all) on this cold Monday afternoon. We look forward to welcoming more than 300 as the week progresses.

Limited photography skills mean not all the paintings have been photographed well enough for publication but a selection here gives some indication of the quality work produced by members of Ledbury Art Society.

Tim Wilmot - Ledbury Scenes in Watercolour

The Market House, Ledbury
Tim has a very loose style and this enabled him to complete two paintings in less than two hours. Impressive! He brought along two photographs of Ledbury: the Market House and Church Lane looking towards the church tower and spire.

Based in Bristol, Tim specialises in vibrant watercolours exploiting the medium with tone and light. He has painted all his life and is completely self-taught. He loves to paint landscapes and is well known for his harbour and boat paintings. Nearly all his landscapes include figures and cars to give focal interest to the scene. You can see more of his work on his website http://www.timwilmot.com/ His YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/timwilmot has more than 40 full length demonstration videos with commentary.

Below you'll find images showing the progress of this and his second painting and also one of his  YouTube videos.
