Kilchoan Artwork

This artwork hangs in the Lemon Tree Tearoom at Kilchoan Community Centre - and it's the result of hours of painstaking work by our local Art Class.

A close-up gives a clue as to how it was created. It's less a painting and more a collage or a construction, made from a variety of materials including what looks like polystyrene and draught excluder.

This picture shows how the artwork was designed and laid out, the component parts being added in the numbered white spaces.

Part of the work was in painting pieces of card which were then cut up to fit into the numbered spaces.

The Diary is no art critic but thinks this work is stunning. It's colourful, imaginative and cheerful. Congratulations to the Art Class and to Stephen French, the artist, on the right in a blue coat.

[If, like the artistically ignorant Diary, you're interested in an answer to the question "what is it supposed to BE?" then the photo here gives a clue]
