The Gallery for our visit to Trewithen Gardens is now available.
This month Paint Away Days will visit Godrevy near Hayle. We will be based at the cafe, and will meet there at 10am, with the usual finish time around 4pm.
Godrevy has a variety of possible views, with the lighthouse, dunes, beach and sea. Apparently there are also good rock pools on this section of the beach.
I am hoping to be able to arrange for us to go to the Cornish Cyder Farm, near Goonhavern, on Saturday May 10th. I will confirm this and add the location page as soon as I can. By May the apple blossom will be out in the orchards and should look spectacular. The centre itself is based on barns so there are a number interesting corners to be found here.
Paint Away Days has been invited to have an exhibition and sale at The Well Cafe and Craft Shop, Cubert. This will run from the middle of May to the middle of June. Any body who has taken part in a Paint Away Day can submit one or more pictures on any subject or medium, painted at any time. I am not limiting this to Paint Away Day subjects only.
As with the website I will not be restricting the paintings to "only the best", if there is space all the pictures will have a chance to be hung. It is only if there are more pictures than space available will there be a selection and this will be decided to give the best variety of subjects. So even the less experienced artists will have a chance to see their picture up on the wall.
It is hoped to get some newpaper publicity for this exhibition.
If you would like to submit paintings please make sure they are framed and ready to hang, and if they are for sale what you would like to sell them for. Please remember that the cafe will take a commission, so decide on the price you would like to receive and the commission will be added on top of this.
Please contact me if you have any paintings you would like to show, so that I have an idea of what is going to be available and although the start date has not been finalised it will be after the Paint Away Day on Saturday 10th May. Paintings can be handed to me at the Paint Away Day, or they can be delivered directly to The Well in the few days before the start of the exhibition.
This is the first exhibition we have had and I hope that a number of you will be able to provide artwork, otherwise I will have a large space to try and fill by myself!
Costs for each Paint Away Day are detailed for each venue on the information for the location page. See General Information for guidance to costs.
