Harbour Day Exhibition by Joanne Wishart
“Harbour Day” is a showcase of North East artist Joanne Wishart’s colourful new paintings.
 
Come along to the Mushroom Works Gallery and you will find large canvases filled with quirky compositions depicting shoals of fish, colourful boats and harbour village scenes. A walk through the gallery will evoke memories of a fun day out by the sea with imagery portraying the sunnier side of coastal life. This is an exhibition for all the family to enjoy.
Joanne spends many weekends with husband Ross enjoying the North East coastline where she is never without her sketch book. Once back in her studio at the Mushroom Works she uses a combination of techniques including paint, collage, stitch and printmaking to produce pictures rich with textured surfaces, hidden layers and splashes of colour.
Alongside these original paintings there will be a large selection of limited edition prints and artist cards available to purchase and Joanne will be available throughout the exhibition to happily discuss her work.

Jim Gibson wins national photographic competition
Aurora landscape photographer Jim Gibson has been selected as the outright winner in a mapping competition organized by Outdoor
Photography magazine.
 This is a national publication dedicated to
promoting and featuring high quality landscape and outdoor imagery.
The
competition brief was to use map reading skills to locate suitable
landmarks and then to use these locations as photographic subjects.
This was ideal for Jim whose background in fell walking was the
principal reason for buying his first camera.
The featured images
include two Northumberland shots (Hadrian's Wall and Ingram Valley in
the Cheviots), Penshaw Monument silhouetted at dusk, and High Cup Nick,
a spectacular glaciated U-shaped valley high in the North Pennines' and
appear in the July 2008 edition which is out now.
