The Pictures - Summer Fayre 2011

On June 19 the great Hangar Summer fayre was held - and it was an enormous success!! Everybody loved everything, from the stands with produce, brocante and books, via the fabulous BBQ lunch and the fun games, to the disc jockeys and the fantastic artwork by the members, with as a cherry on the cake the Tombola with its great prizes! For those of you who couldn't make it - be sure you check it out next year, 'cause you really missed something!!

DJ's Olivier Dikken and Haley Rogers played wonderful music all day long! We highly recommend them for your party! Hire them while you still can... Contact the Hangar for enquiries...

We'll soon publish a list with all winners! With the fondest thanks and in utter gratitude to Charmian Murley, who was on top of everything that needed to be done! Begging, stealing, borrowing, organizing wellies to be wanged, sewing rats to be splat, can lids to be sjoeled, reminded, painted, drew, postered, stuck, called, mailed, phoned and did hundreds of other spider-in-the-web jobs... She can look back on a very succesful Fayre, that brought in a lot of euro's that will keep our artschool on top!!

Flowers and villages in Aquarelle

Wild Iris by Mieke van Papen with a great use of light...

Last weeks' aquarelle session brought about all kinds of interesting and different results! Mieke, Cathie and Lies worked on their flowers using a combination of wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry techniques

Cathie van der Stel's gorgeous blow up of an orange daisy

Lies Timmermans worked on the wet-in-wet background of her lovely rose. She will complete it in the next session

Ann Edwards painted some tulips and this bird - enlarge it to see the excellent light on his beak, head and back that she drew with pencil, leaving it white and then giving the background in a very light warm yellow wash!

Six aquarellista's will show work with the theme 'Le Village' in an exhibition in September - Brenda Moorhouse is one of them and she worked on images she drew in ink during our Trip to Aiguefonde. She added watercolours to them and made them livelier and sunnier!

Edith Alborni diligently worked on her village and it is getting more and more real...

And completely off-topic but oh so great - the dewdrops of Cathie van der Stel that she made for the Summer Fête...

More about the Summer Fayre, a great success by the way, in coming posts, filled with pictures of you!
