October 2022
After a break, the monthly painting challenge returned for October. The theme is 'hares'. This is because the 'hare' paintings were so popular at the recent exhibition. There are many ways of interpreting this and the results will be shown here at the end of the month. Please email your artworks to Linda at [email protected]

I have had a long hard look at the 19 entries.
First place is No10 (Lesley Kalibabka)
I particularly like how the late winter sun gives a lovely atmosphere and combined with the loose approach to the trees makes it a very convincing winter painting.
Second place is No19 (Pat House)
The composition is nicely thought out the path leads you in to the subject, the trees give a good sense of distance
with soft trees in the far distance to middle distance and the well painted tree in the foreground.
Third place is No14 (Yvonne Smith)
The sheep are the stars of this painting. Love the way they are all staring at the viewer.
Well done to everyone it was very hard to choose I could of had 5 or more for 3rd place.
