Art Sunday; Auchmithy Arts Festival

This is an Art Sunday with a bit of a difference. I’ve written about the tiny cliff top village called Auchmithie before, it’s beautifully picturesque and 5 miles north along the coast from where I live. This weekend, for the first year, they held an Arts Festival. In the village hall there were home made cakes, biscuits and teas plus an exhibition of what they called the ‘amateur’ artists.

At 15 other venues through out the village different local artists displayed their work. These ‘venues’ were the villagers homes plus the village school house and church. I took a couple of pictures of my friend and her work but I couldn’t really go to all the different venues taking photographs so I’ve found as many of their we sites as I can.

This is Liz Watson who I go out painting with sometimes
