Local artist Helen Irving launched the first art exhibition to be
held in Canonbie United Parish Church Gallery with her solo display of
stunning natural world pictures.
The
opening night was very well attended, and over 80 people viewed Helen’s
paintings that first evening whilst enjoying a glass of wine and lively
appreciative chat!
The renovated church was a perfect setting for her
beautifully painted images of birds and flowers – robins, wrens,
swallows, long-tailed tits, and flowers and plants throughout the
seasons. Her attention to detail is meticulous and her work is eagerly
sought-after.
Throughout the exhibition it is estimated that somewhere
in the region of 300 people came even though nearly all Helen’s works
were sold on the opening night – congratulations to Helen for creating
such an outstanding exhibition.
