As usual Phil didn't disappoint! With upwards of 20 submissions the members were entertained with anecdotes, he shared his in depth knowledge of art and art history and gave each artist a full and fair critique. On a personal note his comments have helped my painting…..although I'm sticking with my warm, brown(ish) tree trunks…… and I feel it's a better painting for acting on his advice. At the end of the evening Phil chose his top two. First was a still life painted by David Kirkham.. which he said was reminiscent of a Georgia O'Keefe cityscape, and secondly, a tranquil landscape by Anita Raymond. Congratulations both, and thank you Phil for a fabulous evening.
