St Bart's Art Competition


On Tuesday afternoon I called in to Camp Hopsons to award the prize to the winning St Bart's student, following the competition among year seven pupils. Their pictures were exhibited at the entrance to Joseph's restaurant in Camp Hopson, and the public were asked to vote for their favourite.
The winner was Phoebe Dace, pictured with me and Jean Ince of Artifax picture framing shop in Bartholomew Street. Phoebe's still life of apples was very striking, and skillfully rendered in oil pastels, with an adventurous use of colour. Phoebe's prize was the framing of her picture courtesy of Artifax.
Thanks to the Newbury Weekly News for this photo.
