MONTHLY ARTS CLUB LUNCH

Happy New Year! The monthly Arts Club lunch is always on the first Wednesday of the month, so please diarise. It is usually held in the Lookout or the ArtHouse. All welcome, no charge, just bring food and drink to share. Here we see some of the delicious dishes brought by members for our December lunch - 26 people came to it, a record I think!

NEW MEMBER CAROLINE POOLE

This month’s Arts Club focus is on new member Caroline Poole.

Caroline trained with the painter Nahem Shoa who has work in many major museums in England. She was taught the Carlos Duran method which is based on the teaching of the great 17th Century master Diego Velazquez, it is way of painting from life which concentrates on seeing the shape, tone and colour as a whole and painting all parts equally. Her special interest is the skies and landscapes around Bawdsey and the devastating effects of erosion along the coastline. She spends much of her time painting directly from nature en plein air, relentlessly returning to the subject many times whenever the weather and tides allow so some of her paintings may take several months to complete. Constable is one of Caroline’s greatest inspirations.

She has exhibited with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Pastel Society and the Ruth Borchard national self portrait prize. She has had work at Snape gallery and is represented by Gallery East in Woodbridge. Caroline’s work has been included in museum shows in Coventry and Hartlepool alongside Freud, Bomberg, Auerbach and her recent work “Fallen Pines” is now part of the permanent collection and can be seen in the current show “Landscape Rebels” at Christchuch Mansion Museum in Ipswich. She has work in many private collections here and abroad.
