00:00Okay, we're here at Portsmouth Cathedral and we are hanging at the Summer Exhibition.
00:06The Summer Exhibition runs from Friday the 16th to the 26th.
00:11It's open to the public. It's totally free of charge.
00:14Come down. As you can see, we have an amazing array of artists in different styles.
00:21So come down to Portsmouth Cathedral between the 16th of August and the 26th.
00:26It's free of charge. Come down and buy some art and support your local artists.
00:30My name is Paula Mitchell. I'm a professional artist and I'm delighted to be involved with the Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society.
00:37I have three pieces of work on display at this year's exhibition in 2024.
00:42The first is called Let's Dance. The second is called The Early Bird and the third is called For Sale.
00:49I am a plein air painter primarily, so all of my work is inspired by starting a painting in the outdoors.
00:55And I sometimes finish a painting in the outdoors.
00:58So it's inspired by real life experience and what I see when I'm out and about and the light and the conditions and everything the environment has to offer.
01:07So there's nothing like seeing work up close and at first hand.
01:12So please do come along and support me and everybody else who's involved in this society. Thank you.
01:18OK, this is a coloured pencil drawing of hydrangeas. It's called Hydrangeas.
01:24This is the first drawing I've ever done of flowers.
01:27I actually only started drawing three years ago during Covid, so I'm completely new to art.
01:32But I'm addicted and I did this for myself because I love the subject.
01:38Anybody can do it if you try.
01:41My name is Jane.
01:43I was very inspired to do the Camargue ponies because obviously they're so like the Connemara ponies.
01:49The top painting is actually shortlisted in the SAA Artist of the Year this year.
01:57And it's only the second time that I've entered, so I was over the moon.
02:13OK, so I'm going to show you a little bit of what's going on here.
