Dear Members
A big "THANK YOU" to Mirra Hainsworth for putting together the newsletter for so many years- no doubt a lot of work - at times frustrating but I'm sure always rewarding.
The new team, Andrew Lo, Daisy Hsu and myself Evelyne Zuercher
Hadfield have taken up the challenge, trying to bring you updates,
news, list of ongoing exhibitions with a Chinese theme.
At the same time we're encouraging you to give us information and feed
back.
Our next meeting will take place on:
Saturday 1st April at 2.30pm at Will's Quills
" Theme: the modern approach of the 4 Chinese Gentlemen (orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, plum blossom)- please try and prepare one/ two /three paintings and bring them along- if you have any books on that subject, please bring them along as well.
" All members that took part in Andrew's workshop please bring your finished "Hunter Valley Scenes" for a "show and tell" session.
" A Chinese artist, from America, Ms Haiying Yang will talk about her art work and give us a short demonstration on silk paintings. You might also like to check out her website - www.yanghaiying.com
" Due to the lack of funds in our society, William has kindly offered to sponsor the prize money for the Ryde and Parramatta exhibitions- however a further discussion regarding conditions of sponsorship is needed.
" A big "thank you" goes to Andrew for yet another wonderful workshop- he not only gave us his time, material and his patience, but also a lot of inspiration.
" A warm "welcome" to our new member, Lindy Danvers.

This exhibition celebrates the art, life, and legacy of Audrey Quigley.
As an artist, she was an accomplished practitioner and staunch advocate
of Chinese Brush Painting and as a teacher she shared her passion and
skills with many of her students, who continue to pursue this distinctive
art form.
The Mosman Art Gallery is holding a Chinese exhibition every year as part of a cultural exchange program with their sister city in Mudanjing , China- ACPS might even get a chance to be part of it- therefore it would be good if we could be represented at the opening.
