The Hugh Murdoch Trophy evening

The 2018 Hugh Murdoch trophy evening was another milestone in the FHAS calendar this week.

A chilly evening but a good turnout with 14 members showing a range of interpretations on the theme of ‘Bright, shiny things’. We also had five visitors and some partners swelling the numbers present.

The winner was Val Parry with her evocative seascape.

Second place went Ann Zwets for her water colour of reflections in candelabra and silver jug.

 

Third place was awarded to Cynthia Fletcher for her pastel work of copper pots and cans

 

So, now the next trophy evening, the Alma Byng, will be at the end of November – plenty of time !  Information on the event will be sent our during October newletter but here are the
