Submitted by BAS Admin on Fri, 27/02/2009 - 10:02We had great fun at the first meeting of 2009, cunningly called the AGM to disguise the fact.
Just before Christmas, Allan Davies set us a puzzle. He provided 16 of us with a blank A4 card and a piece of a painting to reproduce. We were not told which painting.
We assembled the bits at the AGM to recreate a masterpiece. There was no stipulation as to which medium to use, so the results are a glorious, rich hotchpotch - some might say the same about the original!
Click on the pictures to see them in all their glory.
The project caught the eye of Newshopper and was covered in the online and print versions.
The original painting and the intriguing story behind it can be seen on Wikipaedia

Issue 12 - Nov 24th 2008 - Christmas Social Evening
Submitted by Christine Richards on Mon, 24/11/2008 - 20:09Bromley Art Society's Christmas Social Evening will be on Friday, 5 December at 8pm at Verrall Hall (our usual venue).
Do come and enjoy nibbles, Ann's Fruit Cup Special and the opportunity to chat with your fellow artists.
There will be a quiz (superb prizes!), a fun painting challenge, DVDs to view, bargains to buy, raffles and more!
We're a friendly bunch but we're so busy painting and watching others paint that we don't always have the chance to get to know each other. A relaxing Christmas get-together is just what we need!!
