[BAS Newsletter] Friday Demonstration - This Friday 14th April at the Daylight 7pm.

[Paul Stringfellow]

Dear members and friends of Bromley Art Society.

I hope you are enjoying your Easter break. Our 1st Friday demonstration 
was postponed until this Friday because of Easter. This Friday at the 
Daylight Inn 7pm am am delighted to say we have a brilliant vibrant 
artist in Susan Clare to provide us with a demonstration.

Susan says "I paint in watercolours, acrylics and mixed media. Right 
now, I'm steering my paintings towards improving ocean awareness.  I've 
spent most of my adult life in Jamaica, so I paint my tumbling tropical 
garden, faces full of character and the Caribbean reefs.  I add 
atmosphere with ambiguous passages of texture and light, or colour and 
pattern.  I want people to feel connected with and protective of our 
natural world".

In June 2018, Susan was awarded Winner in two categories of the SAA 
Artist fo the Year 2018 (Animal & Wildlife and Water scenes, Boats & 
Seascapes)

She has exhibited in many solo and group shows in Jamaica, Florida, 
London, (including the Mall Galleries), Chelmsford and The Beecroft, in 
Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

Chairman & Membership Secretary.

"Coast" by Susan Clare
I’ve been working on a new body of work this summer (2019) which 
culminated in this semi-abstract seascape in acrylic on canvas with 
mixed media and found objects incorporated into the surface of the 
painting.  Items such as nylon mesh bags and string, reminding us of how 
our food-packaging is impacting the health of the oceans on a daily 
basis.  Coffee grounds, great for a natural fertiliser, as also creating 
texture in this coastal scene.
