Our Hamilton exhibition “Nature’s Bounty” was opened by Keith Donnelly, a local Arts Development Officers, at a most enjoyable preview, which was attended by members and friends from far and wide.
The works on display attracted some very favourable comments, as did the exhibition space itself.
The variety of subject matter, the quality and detailed study of leaf and flower, fungi, fruit, and seeds  all contributed to the overall excellence of the exhibition. The skill with which the artists applied the paint and observed the detail of the plants was the subject of much admiration.
Visitors came from as far afield as Cumbria, Edinburgh, Fife and Stirling and seemed to enjoy chatting to the artists in residence – in all it was a most successful show.

Having been offered a handsome room in a prestigious listed building by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (@SHBT), we held our first exhibition during the Doors Open Day at the Glasite Meeting House, Edinburgh.

With fine examples of flowers and plants from eighteen artists showing twenty-six paintings, the exhibition proved successful with many visitors remarking on the quality and skill of the work.

Thanks to all on the Exhibitions Committee for their hard work in making this a fantastic start for the Society, and to Jared Earle (@jearle) for the photography.

A look at the posters for our upcoming exhibitions, how exciting!
