The Abingdon Artists Spring Exhibition shows work from around 50 artists. Co-chair Jonathan Leach praised the impressive breadth and depth of work on display. The exhibition runs from Monday, 10th March, to Saturday, 15th March, at St Helen’s Church.
Cllr. Alison Rooke, Honorary President of Abingdon Artists and Chair of Oxfordshire County Council, attended the exhibition and enjoyed viewing the artwork.
Marion Owen is pictured with three of her paintings, among the many pieces on display. Each artist can submit up to three works.
In addition to artwork and cards, visitors can enter a raffle to win Spring Fever, a Chinese ink and watercolour painting by Tricia Wormald. Depicting a rooster — a symbol of prosperity and bravery in Chinese culture — the piece is inspired by the artist’s two decades of keeping chickens.
As I sit here I have a painting by Marion less than a metre from my right shoulder (Beach at Sunset, Arran) and another upstairs (Sunflowers). Her work is gorgeous – I’m a fan!
