Bromley Art Society Bringing Artists Together since 1947

Happy New Year everybody.
The programme for 2014 looks really good yet again, thanks to the hard work of Penny.
I'm looking forward to a wonderful year of creativity.
My dream is that our exhibitions will display the diverse nature of our art society with works that are influenced by our different nationalities, cultures and environment.
Perhaps my pieces will 'prove' my Welshness. What will yours 'prove'?
Let's all get to work with gusto. (Does anyone know where he or she is?)

A good show at the Central Library. Worth a visit. Pat is prolific. Lots of interested visitors and sales have been good. It ends on Tuesday next.

WOW! Ailsa's Easel is a joy! With my large screen monitor I can read without effort. Pictures are easy to see except for the few pixelated, but they are no problem. I am thrilled with the first issue, as we should all be. The Christmas hols. should give us time to reflect and write pieces for the Spring publication and that includes me. Thanks, Ailsa. Incidentally, I notice that there are 21 guests online while I type; usually there are no more than two or three.

The Easel is back, with a new design and a new editor. Thanks to Ailsa Chapman for taking on this important task for Bromley Art Society.

Well, I managed to get one new pic onto the gallery but the caption needs to be tweaked by changing the file name on my pc. I tried to upload a .psd image and failed. That means I have to convert to .jpg images first. That is not a hassle. Now to get some more pics from my camera, so this wee episode must come to an end. Enjoy the day.

I need to update my bit of the gallery. As I haven't been near it for a while, I will have to relearn how to add a new picture and remove some ole uns. Fun!

Request from Thelma - does anyone use recycled materials to make sculpture? Let her know, please.
