Art Exhibition of The Ostreme and Grand Theatre Art Group

The Ostreme and Grand Theatre Art Group Art Exhibition at The Arts Wing, Swansea Grand Theatre is on from August 27th-Sept 6th.
The Art Group consists of two art classes taught by professional artist Zoe James-Williams.

I was absolutely thrilled with the team work from the group, selling raffles, donating prizes, helping putting up the exhibition and donating wine and nibbles for the event. They were absolute stars.

We were all thrilled that Paul Thorburn,  a former Neath RFC and international Wales rugby union player who played at full back and captain of Wales agreed to open the exhibition.

We are also very proud to announce that we were able to raise £300 to be shared between Stepping Stones and Hill Community Trust from our raffle. Thanks to all the donors of the wonderful raffle prizes and all the of the group that sold tickets like crazy!!

Painting in progress, The Dying Swan



Painting in progress of Alina Somova, Prima Ballerina with The Mariinsky Ballet Company while performing The Dying Swan. I have used pastel, watercolour, acrylic and washi paper on blue ingres pastel paper. It is far from finished which is why I am just showing a section of it. But you can see the texture of the washi paper on her headdress and tutu. The skin tones have to be worked on but am happier with the hair. The hands also need more detail.
