Only a Beautiful Picture...

Paintings, from water colours to oils, were on display at the Hard of Hearing Painters' Exhibition. Some excellent work was seen, but the one thing about the display was that the artists, having all enjoyed doing their paintings, took part in the exhibition with great enthusiasm. The painting sessions are run by the Hard of Hearing League and held in their rooms once a week but anyone can join in the activity.
