ART ON SUNDAY

 

At the salle des fêtes in Descartes this weekend there was a wonderful exhibition of art by local artists.  There were paintings in every kind of medium, sculptures, woodcraft and quilts.  The exhibition will run until 6th April and these pictures are just a sample of the brilliant work on display.

We hadn't been inside the SDF of Descartes before and it's an excellent venue, beautifully appointed.  How lucky we are to have all of this for free almost on our doorstep.







This was my favourite painting, a watercolour entitled "sous le vent".

  1. How lovely - and almost on your doorstep! What a diverse range of artistic endeavours too - stitching, woodcraft, sculpture , painting...And well laid out, so there was room to stand back and study the whole thing [I am not fond of galleries where you have to have your nose almost pressed to the canvas]
