Our winner of the Patron's Award 2021: Arthur Simmons
The winner of the Patron's Award for 2021 was Exhibit 187, "Autumn Sunlight", painted in Oil by Arthur Simmons. Unfortunately, Arthur could not be there to receive his award from Lord Faringdon at the Preview Evening so the trophy was presented to him at the October Monthly Meeting on Tuesday 12th October in the Pavilion. Arthur sold three out of the four pictures which he exhibited during the Preview Evening - quite an achievement!
