Little bit of art goes long way for charity
Art lovers will be in the picture with the annual Little Paintings charity event being held this weekend.
Taking place as a fundraiser for Hansel, the show is being held in Murdoch House, Broadmeadows, Symington, from Friday, March 10, until Sunday, March 12, and is sponsored by Steven Brown Art and Majestic Wine, Ayr.
All of the paintings in the exhibition measure eight inches by eight inches and there are a limited number of larger works of art by various artists participating in the event too.
With all paintings from established artists costing just £ 300 and amateur artists’ work priced from £ 100, the exhibition gives buyers the opportunity to invest in a piece of original artwork for less than the cost of many framed prints available from high street department stores.
Sheila McLean, Hansel Fundraising Manager said: “I can’t believe this is our ninth Little Paintings Exhibition and the art work just gets better and better every year.
“There is a really diverse range of artwork from paintings of windswept beaches to a picture of a boy on a unicorn and a portrait of Terry Wogan.”
