Just before coming to Greece we went to Art in the Park in Leamington. It's a first, as we're usually in Greece by August.
We could see all the tents from across the river
We started with Mill Gardens - lots of tents/stalls
and lots of people.
The food and drink tents were near the entrance so we started looking at those first
people were already eating even though it was still early.
On the stage, a band were performing
The Barbara Robjant abstracts are very pleasing
Next, the Heather Miller paintings
We left the Mill Gardens and crossed the bridge to get to Jephson Gardens where the rest of the Fest was going on
the river as peaceful as ever
Lots going on in Jephson Gardens
including Music Lessons, the first one being free
Adventures in Material and Space for the kids
and lots of other activities for children and young people.
The food and drink section was busy
long queues
and lots of people listening to the band on the stage
Bryan B. Kelly paintings
Pottery by Deloise
The park was full, everyone enjoying themselves
More pottery
Doodles by Luke Crump
and someone having their portrait doodled
We listened to this band while we were having some lunch
and so did lots of other people
Then looked at some of Sara Huxley's paintings
wandered around some more
looked at Claire Brown's smoke fired ceramics
and eventually headed home.
Oh wow. There was a lot there.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I liked the Heather Miller tree branch paintings - vivid and reminded me of Anslem kieffer a bit. And those ceramics were beautiful. would love to have the one with the black smeer across it on my table.
It was a great day - I am so glad we managed to get there. Yes, you are right, the Miller painting is a bit like a Kiefer. The ceramics were good. I was very tempted, but I resisted.
