Once again we held our popular Annual Exhibition in Leicester. Again we attracted a strong public interest with visitors and buyers drawn from a wide geographical area, including some from abroad. The Exhibition was opened by Lars Tharp, from BBC's Antiques Road Show who entertained us all with humorous anecdotes before awarding the prizes.
'Rutland Landscapes & Legends' written by Brian Martin and illustrated by Alan Oliver has over thirty paintings. You can see the paintings, which are watercolours, on Alan's website. www.alan-oliver.co.uk

We're working to develop new ideas and projects for 2010 and for the
convention in 2011. In case you haven't seen it, we have a new feature
on the IAPS web site, which is a listing of member societies' national
juried
competitions. We believe this will be useful to you when you're
planning which competitions to enter throughout the year. The list is
updated frequently as more shows are added, so it's a good idea to check
it often.
