Exhibition in Buckden 18th-19th October 2014
Seven East Anglian members of the Society of Wildlife Artists will be displaying paintings, all of which will be available to purchase. The artists exhibiting are: Peter Partington, Robert Greenhalf, Brin Edwards, John Davis, Richard Allen, Bruce Pearson and Dafila Scott.
On Saturday 18th at 7–00pm there is a very special Wildlife Evening entitled “The Birds and the Butterflies”. Artist Peter Partington will give a talk on Birds and draw them ‘live’ (as recently seen live on BBC TV’s ‘ Springwatch Unsprung’) and local expert Nick Greatorex-Davies will give an illustrated talk on British Butterflies. Tickets are £8 and include a complimentary glass of wine. Box Office 01480–431037.
Profits will go to St Mary’s Church, Paxton Pits Nature Reserve in Cambridgeshire and The Bob Scott Memorial Appeal for Trans-Saharan Birds.
Lastly, we have made sure that the children of Buckden will also get a chance to join in! Two classes at Buckden Primary School will get a Masterclass in how to draw birds by Peter Partington on Friday October 17th. They will then get drawing and an exhibition of their drawings will be held in St Mary’s Church on November 8th from 10–30am-4pm.
