I’m just about to pop out of the door to go to an exhibition featuring the work by Valda Bailey, John Blakemore, Jacqui Booth, Alex Boyd, Al Brydon, Mike Colechin, Chris Friel, Rob Hudson, Stephen Segasby, Dan Wood and Joseph Wright. You can find out more in the current issue but what I wanted to mention is that each of these individuals (barring John perhaps) would have found it difficult to put on an exhibition of their work on their own and also would have found the task of promoting it to a wide audience quite difficult (never mind the production of a nicely printed show catalog as has just been announced).

Collaboration of this sort is common in the academic art world but seems to disappear once graduation passes and hardly ever happens for the outsider artist.

When we include a community article next time, we'll make a small selection of the contributed images for the main PDF and issue a second PDF containing all of the contributed pictures. Sorry if this issue caused you any problems]

Old School Romantic Landscapes
The principles of human perception, have evolved a lot over the past century of modern art, but still remain close to the origin. Hence, I believe it is worth observing those, that have been well formulated in the flourishing heritage left to us by classical landscape painters. more

The Importance of the Sky in our Compositions
As photographers, we are photographing light and the sky, or perhaps more accurately, the sun, as the source of that light. We are drawn to the colours of light around the edges of the day, at dawn and dusk. more
