Our man Michael Maguire, Editor of the UKCPS Newsletter, made a visit with his wife to the recent Exhibition run by the West Yorkshire local group based in Baildon: -
Many congratulations to the West
Yorkshire Group on their first ever local exhibition which ran between 23
September and 5 October 2013 at Baildon Library .
My wife and I were highly delighted to
see a fine collection and good standard of CP work. We were especially pleased
to quite literally bump into Norma Hall and her husband whilst we were taking
notes and I was snapping merrily away! My apologies if I confused Norma about
why we were there. I did give her the opportunity to be included in a photograph
of her lovely rendering "Our Daily Visitor", but I gather she was a little
overwhelmed by what she thought was a local news reporter for the Telegraph
& Argus. I'm quite thrilled to have been mistaken for the paparazzi!
A female German tourist was also taking
an interest in the exhibition and she asked about the type of pencils and
supports. She thought many of them were watercolour so I explained there may
have been water soluble images among them. Baildon Librarian, Deborah confirmed
that there had been quite a steady flow of visitors milling around the
display.
All in all, it was a brilliant first show
for this local group and we look forward to seeing the next one. Well
done!
