Art in Church
Last Friday evening I went along to the Art in Church exhibition at St Mary's Church, Speen. I bumped into Mayors Mosaic artist Paul Forsey and his family on the way in, and we looked around the exhibition together.
Organisers Amanda Tipple and Nuala Whales have hit on a great way to exhibit amateur art in a beautiful setting and raise money for church funds simultaneously. This is the third such exhibition they have held.
As Amanda showed us around I saw a picture out of the corner of my eye entitled 'Guess Who?' and thought 'surely not?', but yes, it was me! Amanda had painted me as the Mayor - fast work as I've only been in post a month. I bought the picture and have hung it in the Mayor's parlour - I was very flattered.
