Master Painter 

As part of our 10 years in our library celebration we thought it would be nice to have some fresh art work to brighten the Library walls. With health finances being what they are we thought we would call on some of the organisation's artistic personalities to have a “Paint Off”.

They have been provided with paint and canvas and will be given 30 minutes or so to render their interpretation of “As I see it” .

View some of the artists at work.
