Hi Art lovers, week 12 of me racking my brains for interesting questions  to test your art skills..  It seems they are becoming a little more challenging so  searching for answers any way you can is acceptable. Your brain is still being put to good use and you never know you may retain some of the knowledge for life after lock down.

I hope your all staying safe and NOT taking any chances, it’s still out there.

I have been busy painting this is my take on Britain in lock down If you can decipher any of it let me know. damfield@aol.com

           

See you all  soon for a big Artistic get together. Take care –

Maureen and George

As it is the National U3A ‘Japan’ event in July we are planning a visit from Gillian Russell, U3A NW regional trustee. She is going to tell us of her time in Japan, the art, the culture and the people.

Please visit Art App, desk Tuesdays to book and pay £2.00 as we have to pay for use of the Sanctuary @ 11.30 am 

NB.  if  you cannot attend any visit you have put your name down for, can you please have the courtesy to inform Art Appreciation, at Tuesday meeting , by  email or by telephone as  this avoids unnecessary waiting and thus delaying the start of tour for other members.  There will be no refunds of donations.
