OSCART AWARD
The Oscart trophy is awarded annually to an artist who is a member of the Society and whose work is on display at the AGM. Attending members cast their votes during the meeting and the Oscart is awarded to the artist who receives the highest number of votes. The award of the trophy for the year, and the cheque for £50, is well-deserved.
Our congratulations go to the winners.

My Painting is called "Friends" and it is acrylic, which is what I usually do my animal portraits in, although I have also done some in pen and ink and watercolour. I haven't tried them yet in pastels. As I live on a farm I am lucky to have quite a bit of subject matter, but I also go out and find animals to photograph so I can paint them.
