Newsletter August 2025
Dear Beechwood Members,
We hope you are enjoying our lovely summer and painting all the beautiful scenery whether you are on holiday or tending your gardens, - no doubt full of flowers and wildlife.
Firstly, as it is becoming a pressing issue, is a notice from Jenny Thompson with a request from the organisers of the Chalfont St. Giles Show, taking place on Saturday 6th of September.
‘Dear Members
CHALFONT ST GILES VILLAGE SHOW -- ART COMPETITION (Sat 6 September)
I have been asked if I could let you know about the Art Competition which will take place during the Chalfont St Giles Village Show on Sat 6 Sept. They would like to have as many entries as possible & anyone is eligible as long as you live within a 20-mile radius of Chalfont St Giles.
To enter go to the website csgshow.org, click on competitions and then you will need to click on Div H (Art) which will show you all the different classes. Then just follow instructions! This is always a well attended event which means that your art will be seen by a wider audience.
Kind regards
Jenny (Thompson)
Workshops and Demonstrations
Dinah Kane's replacement of Amanda Curbishley's cancelled workshop was a very successful afternoon of painting and sketching at Chenies Manor. She has sent a couple of photos to illustrate the event, see below.
She says: ‘These are photos of our members enjoying a wonderful day of painting and sketching at Chenies Manor. The weather stayed fair and after spending about 2 1/2 hours creating artworks we met up for a genteel “ show and tell “ at the cafe'.
Dinah is also reminding us of Jo Harris's demonstration on the 20th of August. ‘She is an exciting and vibrant portrait painter and will, probably, be doing her demo in Charcoal’. It starts at 11.00 am so don’t miss it.” There is a £2 charge for members and a £15 charge for non-members payable on the day.
Finally, and most importantly, please note that due to a change of ownership of our website domain, we have had to change the name of the web site to beechwoodartists.com
Best wishes to all.

Beechwood Artists Secretary
