Closer inspection revealed many extremely accomplished works in a breadth of style and techniques. Of particular note were a number of large paintings, some of a semi abstract nature, and some very fine images of urban facades. A surprise to me was the spectrum of techniques employed by members, highlighting the flexibility and amazing versatility of acrylics. Works were on show which could easily have been mistaken for watercolours, such was their translucency, while others employing a more robust, impasto technique, presented the more vigorous side of the medium. Many paintings exhibited the beautiful, even finish, which is possible with acrylic paint.
Members are to be congratulated on the ambition shown in so much of the work on display.
Finally a word about presentation. Almost without exception, framing and mounting was of a very high order. Long gone are the days of the 'jumble sale' frame. Works are immeasurably enhanced by sensitive framing, and of course this increases the chances of selling. Congratulations to all involved.
