ART GALLERY VISIT

SKETCHING IN SOUTHAMPTON CITY ART GALLERY

Report by Di

 

 

 

Nine members enjoyed the visit to the city art gallery in January. Mary-Anne and Issabelle Toop were welcomed to this, their first visit, to the TAS Adventurous Artists sketching group.

The Beyond the Brotherhood: the Pre-Raphaelite Legacy exhibition was a fantastic bonus with some beautiful large and small paintings lent by other galleries. There were works by Millais, Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Holman Hunt and it attracted a steady stream of visitors.  

Sadly Issabelle became unwell and she and Mary-Anne had to miss the gathering afterwards at the Sea City Museum cafe.
