| October 2008 - Report on Michael
Weldon and Maggie Bernstein's Exhibition in September 2008
Both Michael Weldon and Maggie Bernstein were thrilled at the positive response to the exhibition of their work held at The Studio, East End Green, Brightlingsea in the second week of September. They had visitors in large numbers every single day who expressed interest and delight with their very different painting styles and techniques. Michael's
delicate touch with landscapes and seascapes which included many local
views as well as complex and finely executed paintings of Venetian and
other foreign landmarks was much feted. His skill in composition, colour
and form were shown to their full extent by his paintings of architectural
detail such as his "Florentine Door" and other paintings of the
same quality and depth.
Maggie's
work ranged from representational still life an example of which,
"The Potting Shed" attracted a
great many compliments and so too did her latest and more expressionist
paintings. One painting in
particular, called "Bluebell Wood, Wivenhoe" was very well
received with many congratulatory remarks about her ability as a colourist
as well as an appreciation of the somewhat rhythmic form and mood of
the work, which pleased her greatly.
Maggie
said: "We were both
delighted to be able to sell a great many pictures, prints and cards,
which should keep us in paint, paper, brushes and canvas for a while!"

All the
visitors were struck by the stunning riverside setting of Colin
Kirby-Green's Studio and its intriguing and beautiful interior was much
praised with many visitors expressing an interest in studying there
themselves as well as attending the wonderfully diverse musical concerts
which take place there once a month. We felt very honoured to be
exhibiting in such a gorgeous setting. For more
