EAST ANGLIAN REGION MEETING<br />

GUILD OF AVIATION ARTISTS<br />

HQ NEWS... HQ NEWS...<br />

Shuttleworth<br />

Saturday July 22nd<br />

Members of the East Anglian Region<br />

had a great sketching & painting day<br />

at Shuttleworth again. It was a really<br />

windy and wet day but fortunately it<br />

didn’t spoil the artistic activity from the<br />

members present.<br />

David Smith chose to draw the Hucks<br />

starter vehicle in pencil which was very<br />

fine effort.<br />

Will Williamson used pencil to do a<br />

superb duo of the Lysander and Spitfire<br />

which with the tonal structure, gave it an<br />

excellent perspective.<br />

David Fosh used his controlled pastel<br />

style on the Ryan STM 2.<br />

Get Ready for 2024!<br />

Having put on a physical exhibition at IWM Duxford in June (the first since<br />

2019), we intend to stage an annual exhibition again in 2024.<br />

This will be in the Summer and submission of works will again be online.<br />

With this in mind, please start thinking now about getting some paintings done ready to submit in late Spring<br />

next year. We were unable to give this much notice last year and this made it difficult for some artists to<br />

submit due to workload or time available to get work prepared.<br />

As soon as there is definite information about the venue and date, we will let the membership know but for<br />

now, get planning - and get painting!<br />

David Heaton chose to combine the SOE<br />

car “Violette” with the Lysander behind.<br />

A perfect combination!<br />

Phil Jackson Well! I had a go at Debbie<br />

Land’s pride and joy Citroen “Violette”<br />

as well. I was quite pleased in the way it<br />

turned out but looking closely, I thought<br />

it had the characteristic of an Austin Six!<br />

I think I forgot my usual start up sketch of<br />

‘looking at it from a distance’ to get the<br />

shape right but what great fun!<br />

My thanks again to Shuttleworth and<br />

of course to all the GAvA members for<br />

their support. Apologies to members I<br />

haven’t included.<br />
