Margaret Glass - Landscape in Pastel

Ongar Art Society presents Margaret Glass as our July demonstrator, this Thursday, 10th July, 8-10pm at Tipps Cross Remembrance Hall, Hook End, Brentwood.

Margaret will be inspiring & educating members & guests by creating a landscape in pastel.

A few notes about Margaret:

Margaret Glass is recognized as one of the leading Pastellists of today. She is a past Vice-President of La Société des Pastellistes de Françe and a member of the English Pastel Society.

In 1992 she was awarded the title ‘Maitre Pastellist’ by La Société des Pastellistes de Françe, only the eleventh artist to receive this distinction. In recent year she has also built up a growing reputation as a talented oil painter, able to capture the light with the same facility as in her pastels.

Statement:

“I tend to choose a subject because of the drama of light on it or within it. Whatever the subject matter may be, the light is what interests me. Light has always fascinated me. A landscape transformed by the sunrise, or light reflected on water, inspire me to paint. In my work I want to point to God the creator, and for people to stop and wonder at the beauty all around us.

We look forward to welcoming Margaret, members & guests. First meeting is free. Refreshments will be available in the interval.

*Members* - If you wish your artwork to be featured upon our Instagram, Facebook and/or website home page, please email Lynne Matthews on s.matthews358@btinternet.com and attach a high resolution photograph of your painting, saved as JPEG image, with a short brief including title, size, medium and any relevant inspiration details.

A ceremony was held at Ongar Academy on 18th April attended by representatives of the Twinning Organisations of Cerizay, France and Ongar, Great Britain, and invited guests. The Chair of Ongar Art Society, Loueen Morrison and Publicity Officer, Susan Keeble were among those with a special invitation.

​

There was a lovely Afternoon Tea, a concert by the primary schools and a wonderful medley of songs from Chicago, the Musical by Ongar Singers.

​

The main event followed - the unveiling of a painting, created by Joe Charman, instigated by Loueen Morrison and Hugh Rayner of Ongar Art Society. The representatives from Cerizay were delighted with the presentation of the beautiful work of art.

​

The painting will be now in residence in Cerizay in France. Ongar Art Society has now attained International connections and we were very proud to have been part of this important ceremony.
