This year, for the first time, we have produced a calendar, each month featuring a painting by one of our members.

January

The artist says the painting, in acrylic, is of Selva Gardena in the Italian Dolomites. There was still snow there in early June. It is one of her favourite areas where she spent many happy years climbing and skiing with her husband and daughter. It is a majestic landscape with beautiful mountain villages and, although part of Italy, the inhabitants are multi lingual, speaking German, Ladin and Italian. The Italians in this area were imported from southern Italy after the Second World war
