GSA 2020 PAINTING DAYS - REVIEWS
GSA Painting Day at Mallards Pike on Monday 19th October.
Well done those who turned up and found their way there despite road closures!
Again the weather was kind and the day most enjoyable. What a beautiful spot and the Autumn colours were amazing.

GSA Painting Day at Saul Junction on Monday the 5th October
Four stalwarts came to Saul Junction after a dreadful weekend of rain beforehand. Luckily the rain held off all morning and the sun shone for a while. Lovely to chat, catch up and work close to each other (only 2 metres close of course!)
A good venue with parking and toilets and some good sketching done before the rain finally arrived just in time for lunch! Please send me some of your finished work.

GSA Painting Day at in the 'Nature in Art' gardens on Monday 21st September.
Unfortunately only 4 people replied to my last email about painting days and 3 of us went to Nature in Art and had a lovely exclusive time in the Garden which volunteers are gradually improving. If anyone would like to spend time there again please contact me and I will arrange it.

Our first visit was to Prinknash Abbey Gardens on Monday 31st August and proved most enjoyable. The weather stayed fine, the choice of subject was excellent and the Cafe much appreciated.
Here below are some pictures of a lovely day with pictures and work by Sue Trickey and Jenny Smith.

The Nature in Art Education Centre is in the garden to the left of the main house close to the car park, the side gate from the car park into the garden will be open for Studio Evenings. Please arrive around 7.00 pm for a prompt 7.30 pm start (after GSA announcements at 7.15), the session will conclude at around 9.30 pm. Refreshments will be served, a raffle will be held, and all members and their guests (guests asked for a modest £3 contribution) are most welcome.
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM NATURE IN ART.
Good Afternoon Dabblers,
I hope that lockdown has started ok for you and that you have managed to get out and enjoy the lovely weather we have been having.
I went for a walk around Pittsville Park, Cheltenham, on Saturday and was lucky enough to see a Kingfisher. It was amazing. First time I had seen a kingfisher. I will definitely go walking there more often, in the hope I see more.
Hopefully you are finding positives despite the challenging times.
I have a small favour to ask....
In December I will be using the atrium to sell hand made things ready for Christmas (to raise money for N-in-A) - succulent gifts, decorations, crochet hats and scarves and whatever I can make through lockdown. I would also like to sell handmade Christmas/Winter cards.
This is where I need your help - if you are bored and looking for something to do, could you please make a Christmas card for us to sell? You are all very talented and I am hoping that we get a variety of different cards. We can then either sell them individually or make up packs of cards, with a variety in.
I would say - play to your strengths (mine is Cross stitching so I am busily sewing cards that have been donated to us by Sue. Thank you!) but it is also fun to dabble with new ideas - I have seen some lovely designs using buttons, which I will also be trying.
Keep it fun!
Could you then either send me the card - or drop it off when you are next here - or I could come and pick it up.
And don't forget to visit the Education Centre when we are open and see if anything takes your fancy.
Thank you all for your ongoing support. We really appreciate everything you do to help us.
Below are examples of cards - cross stitching, painting and raised design.
Look after yourselves
Stay Safe.
From Catherine
and Nature in Art Team.
