GOING OUT paintings

There are two new dates to remember for members of Fish Hoek Art Society:

1. The challenge REFLECTIONS which should be completed by 21 August 2020

2. The annual Hugh Murdoch competition. 

This yer's subject is THROUGH THE WINDOW and the deadline for reception of art works to Ann (zwets@mweb.co.za) is 26 AUGUST 2020.

To those of you who took up the challenge of painting the theme, GOING OUT, thank you.

Marcelle's complex and supremely colourful painting is entitled the “Tall Man”, and shows this familiar figure known in Kalk Bay. He busks on stilts for hours In the summer, making these sausage balloons for kiddies!  It is done in oil on canvas. 

Marie came up with a wonderfully whimsical painting - and we can see Hangklip clearly in the background - of a figure enjoying a bucolic scene. This could also have been submitted for the REFLECTION theme but we're guessing you have something else on your palette for that!

Ann  brought us a picture of sheer joy - one that must have been played out by millions worldwide when non-family members could get together again. Great interpretation. Watercolour and ??

Below, John interprets the theme by depicting our furry and feathered friends who are entirely oblivious to inclement weather. Are these watercolour John? Love the colours in the ducks!

Maugie is ready to get going.  Dreaming of distant destinations, her suitcases at the door. 

Great interpretation of the theme. She uses acrylics thinly as if they are watercolour.

Ann brings us another view of young people - probably those who were in the most rebellion about the lockdown rules. Like all of us, they are hoping for the dawn of a new, better day.

Great job with the jeans, Ann. Done exclusively in watercolour or are there some ink lines?

And lastly, Fiona uses graphite and coloured pencil to depict a young lady ready to go out of an evening.
