' In celebrations, by Yvonne Anderson, colour provides a unifying factor and there is a great sense of almost careless looseness about the painting hich is deceptively difficult to attain.' Writes Leslie Goodwin.

A very bold contrasting painting where strong changes of dark pastel are used in the background to show up the hills against a lighter but threatening sky. The rusty yellow haze turns a sort of mauve and gives a good impression of gathering storm. Writes leslie Goodwin.
