Golden Theme Winner

This is Jill Lloyd's painting which was voted the best on a golden theme at the AGM. Judy Giles came second. It was great to have so many paintings entered as we celebrated Ledbury Art Society's golden anniversary.

Prizes for the competition were generously provided by the SAA (Society of All Artists). These included a specially produced mug for the winner.

Flavours #BigPaintingCompetition

 Flavours Holidays are running their big painting competition and think it's a fantastic opportunity for LAS members to get recognised and their art work seen. It would also be great exposure for Ledbury Art Society. Of course, there is also a the chance of winning a £500 voucher for their Italian painting holidays.

Here is how the competition works:

How to enter:

1. Create a painting that sums up for you “La Dolce Vita – What’s your perfect Italian holiday?”
2. Post a photo of the painting on their  Facebook, Twitter or Google+ Page using #BigPaintingCompetition. You can also send the photo as an email to: marketing@flavoursholidays.com 
3. Make sure the work is your own and the painting is in physical media (they don’t accept any digital artwork)

Ledbury Community Day 2015

Ledbury Community Day is a great opportunity for community groups to showcase their activities so it was great that LAS had a stall exhibiting some of our members paintings and postcards and letting the public see what we do. We certainly attracted many interesting and interested visitors to our display, including several that we hope to see when our Autumn programme gets going on 1st September.

Three brave artists were out and about with easels or sketch pads. Well done Meg, Mike and Tony!

We had a competition for the best painting or drawing on a postcard

which attracted entries from nine children.

 The picture above shows the winning entry and the young artist will receive a £10 book token.

Here's our stall being set up in the Burgage Hall.
