Sully Painting Group held it's annual painting competition this week, with this year's theme being "Coast".

This year's winners included Una Trotman's "Seascape", which came first in the acrylics category, Jan Hinton's "Beach" in the pastel section, Peter Blower's mixed media picture "puffins" and Thelma Edwards wining the water colour category with her "Beach Hut" painting.

The winning painting in each section

Diana Mead kindly agreed to undertake the unenviable task of choosing the best painting in each section and whilst she was doing this the members enjoyed wine and nibbles.

She then talked about each picture with some helpful constructive criticism for members, before announcing her wining choices.

Members then voted on which was the best overall first which was won by Una's "Seascape".

These paintings, along with a great many more can be seen at the group's Annual Exhibition to be held in Jubilee Hall Sully in Friday, June 17 to Sunday, June 19.

A warm welcome is extended to everyone to come to the Exhibition, part of the proceeds of which go to local charities.
