A feast of artwork was enjoyed in Musselburgh at the local art club’s annual exhibition.

The recent event took place at the clubrooms, at the rear of Bridge Street, opposite the Brunton Hall.

Pam Strachan, from the club, said that the event resulted in the “best sales to date”.

She explained: “We sold 14 paintings, numerous cards, small paintings and wooden artefacts from our craft tables. These included a lovely wooden clock made by Lynne Scoular.”

Two new members, Gabriella Palermo and James Drysdale, were “particularly excited” as they each sold their very first paintings.

Gabriella, the club’s youngest member, is from Italy and started painting at 14.

“Since moving to Scotland, she has been looking for somewhere inexpensive to paint and found the club to be good value for money,” explained Pam.

James added: “I joined Musselburgh Art Club because I had recently rekindled my passion for painting and wanted to connect with and learn from other artists.

“Having grown up in Haddington and lived in East Lothian most of my life, I’m immersed in the beautiful countryside, teeming with wildlife.

“I love to walk and spend time in the Highlands, and this is the source of my inspiration. Twilight Serenade, which was sold at the exhibition, is a mountainscape that explores change through nature’s transitions.

“The social workshops and events at Musselburgh Art Club are great and I’ve made loads of fantastic friends. I love being able to borrow from their library of art-related books and to show my work in exhibitions.”

Four club members enjoyed taking part in a recent landscape artwork competition at Fisherrow Harbour.

The event was organised by artists from the Musselburgh Open Studio Weekend, which takes place later this month.

Pam said: “We are enjoying our collaboration with Musselburgh Artists’ Open Studios and are looking forward to taking part in the second open studios event on July 27 and 28.”
