PATCHWORK PICTURES
Tony Huckleby instituted what has become an Eye Arts Guild tradition, and is currently Sally Procner's baby. A copy of an art work (usually by a well known artist, but the actual piece may not be easily identifiable) is cut up and distributed to the members in anonymous envelopes. They are not allowed to look in the envelope before making their choice!!
The members are then tasked with copying the tiny snippet of unknown image with their own paints on a section of watercolour paper provided in the envelope (with a certain amount of outline drawn on it to help). These are then pieced together and displayed at the Guild Christmas party. The skill displayed in these copies is remarkable, and generally the only reason for differences is because the medium used is not the same as the original.

EAG version on the left, the original on the right. I am forced to 'Ask the Audience' for the identity of the painting at the top, as it was a subject some time before I joined. Anyone who knows, please let me know. (Hannah)
