Wasps Studio Artists

TheTamshee: visited the latest art exhibition at Selkirk Wasps Studio to browse some excellent work by talented artists.

Interesting discussion with Colin Philip pertaining to the merits of Acrylic paint techniques versus Oils; but the highlight was Moy Mackay explaining to me "traditional felting techniques in a painterly way using merino tops. This organic medium gives her work extraordinary warmth and texture, while calling for a fine balance between spontaneity and control" The depth of colour was expansive; to transform the coat of the "woolly back" to these magnificent wall hangings is talent indeed.
Rob-Miester also enjoyed the cake!!
