Visitors to the Painting for Pleasure Open Day were treated to a lovely selection of tasty cakes, bought or hand-made by our members. Coffee and Walnut for me!

The paintings sessions, morning and afternoon, carried on as usual so visitors could walk around, see the artwork in progress, and chat with members.

The raffle prizes were coming in.... did you win?

Trip to Leamington Art Gallery & Museum

As part of the 'Art of Camouflage' project, a group of us visited The Leamington Art Gallery & Museum to see the ''Concealment and Deception: The work of the Leamington camouflage group in the Second World War". This was a fascinating exhibition showing the work of artists such as Stephen Bone, Leon Underwood, Christoper Ironside, and Colin Moss and other artifacts of interest.

Welcome

We welcome you to the Painting for Pleasure website.

With thanks to a grant from the Comic Relief Local Communities Grant, Coventry and Warwickshire, Painting for Pleasure has been able to create their own website and give our members the opportunity to learn how to post their work online. Members are currently working on a Camouflage Project, to be exhibited in The Parish Church Cafe, Leamington Spa from Wed 17th to Sat 20th August and Wed 24th to Sat 27th August.
