Tuesday (5th March) we had the second part of the Derrick Turner competition "Tranquility".

Howard Jones did a great job of critiquing the entries, and then had the most difficult task of picking the winners of this and the previous meeting (“People In Interaction”) from which 11 paintings had been shortlisted.

The winners were:

            Week 1 - People In Interaction:

                        Winner: Keith Harvey

                        Runner-Up: Caroline Goode

             Week 2 - Tranquility:

                        Winner: Joe Rhodes

                        Runner-Up: Eli Absi

             Overall winner: Joe Rhodes

Congratulations to all the winners! Well done!

Thank you Howard for all your hard work.

Galleries of the paintings entered for this competition will be posted in due course.
