Rotary Art Exhibition 10th and 11th August 2013

Rotary Art Exhibition 2013

It had been a number of years since I had entered a Rotary Exhibition but decided that it was about time I did.  I was asked to demonstrate and so that added another area of interest for me.  It was lovely to meet so many lovely people over the two days and share my love of watercolour with them.
