OUR ROLLING EXHIBITION AT BLUE DIAMOND GARDEN CENTRE - CHENIES

Chenies Garden Centre is our flagship exhibition venue. We have been showing and selling our work here for many years now. The paintings are changed frequently; so you will see a variety of styles and mediums there. The café itself is a calm oasis in which to meet with friends for lunch or for excellent coffee and home made cakes.

RONNIE IRELAND - LECTURE - 6th OCTOBER 2026

Every now and again, and in place of a demonstration, we bring you a lecture on an Art related subject. Many of you will recall the excellent talk on "The Glasgow Boys", given by Ronnie Ireland last year. In response to a question from the floor, Ronnie is back to redress the gender balance and will be talking about two female artists; Anne Redpath and Joan Eardly.

Joan Eardley (1921 - 1963) was one of Scotland's most original and admired Scottish Artists, noted for her portraiture of street children in Glasgow and her landscapes of Catterline and other regions of the North East Coast of Scotland. Anne Redpath OBE ARA (1895 - 1965) was a Scottish artist whose vivid domestic still lifes are among her best known works.

Come along for what will without doubt be a brilliantly informative evening. 7.30pm on Tuesday 6th October, at the Tennet Hall of the Watford Grammar School for Girls. Visitors are welcome (£10 at the door).
