Dee Cowell’s work (below right) received first place in the ‘most innovative’ category at the recent Broadstone Art Society
exhibition. Judged by professional artist, Diane Roberts, she explains that she was drawn to the work by its ‘edgy action
mark making, that gave a visual expression of unsettling consequences’. The title tells us that the seas are in peril so Diane
felt that there was an effect both emotionally and visually. Second place went to Chris Gavin for his untitled work based on
in situsketches of Exmoor; and third place went to Margarete Tucknott’s for her oil and cold wax painting, First Morning(not
pictured). The Worth Cup was presented to Jeff Bradley for his painting, Gathering Storm(below left), voted most popular
painting in the exhibition by the visiting public. For more information about the society visit http://www.broadstoneartsociety.orgAltrincham Society of Artists
