January postcard
"Queen's Head, Pinner-on-Sea" altered image by Kara Lines

they be. Kara Lines celebrates the differences and
puts her own slant on this view of Pinner's Queen's
Head.

April postcard
"Our Pinner" line and wash by Pam Adsley
Pam Adsley, member of Pinner Sketch Club, sees
Our Pinner as most of us see it in our mind's eye.
If only we could all draw and paint what we see like
this.
Pam Adsley's style is rather different. "I do a bit of everything, I've exhibited works in acrylic,
pastels and some little watercolours of the local area - doorways of some old properties in Pinner
which people will probably recognise.
"I like to do a variety of things, but watercolour and line and wash
are my favourites because I love doing local landscapes and architecture."
Adapted from an article in the Watford Observer.
May postcard
"Pinner Fair" watercolour by John Pickard
John Pickard, member of Pinner Sketch Club,
catches the atmosphere of the Fair, which takes over
the High Street and Bridge Street for a day every
May. The Fair was granted its Royal Charter in 1336.
John Pickard told us: "My preferred medium is watercolour but I have also painted in acrylics and other media.
The subjects I paint are very varied and I am up for a challenge; town and country landscapes, street scenes,
gardens, old buildings, bridges, rivers, portraits, abstracts etc. Quite often I paint in the open air and other
times take photographs and paint from these."
June postcard
From a painting of "St Mary's Church Harrow on the Hill" acrilic by Dow Pichaiwatkomol
Dow Pichaiwatkomol, member of Pinner Sketch
Club, captures many artist styles and in this one
of the church on top of Harrow on the Hill creates
wonderfully contrasting textures of this iconic church
and its surroundings.

July postcard
"Memorial Park, Pinner" by Dow Pichaiwatkomol
Dow Pichaiwatkomol, member of Pinner Sketch
Club, demonstrates another of her many styles and captures the relaxed atmosphere and colourful
surroundings of Pinner Memorial Park. An ideal
place for a summer picnic.

August postcard
"High Street, Pinner-on-Sea" altered image by Kara Lines
Another clever take on Pinner's historic High Street.
May it retain it's unique and picturesque character,
even if it is not as Kara Lines would have us believe.
August is the time for a visit to the beach!

September postcard
"Willows by the Pinn, Eastcote" mixed media by Pam Adsley
Pam Adsley, member of Pinner Sketch Club,
captures this distinctive willow. Anyone who has
driven or walked along Old Eastcote High Road,
leading to the junction with Joel Street, will instantly
recognise its distinctive twists and curls.
For comments on Pam's style see next to the April postcard, above.
October postcard
Taken from "Friends Restaurant" pen and ink by Clive Baxter
Clive Baxter's meticulous lines, hatchings and dotting
creates textures you can feel and all but touch. Part
framed by the arching overhang of the Victory points
us towards Friends Restaurant, Terry Farr's second
home.

November postcard
From "Evening Walk, Yeading" in pastel by Margaret Morley.
Margaret Morley, member of Pinner Sketch Club
and Hillingdon Artists, captures an evening stroll by
Yeading Brook and a memorable sky. Not the time
of year for picnics but a little brisk exercise is good
any time of year.
Margaret Mosley told us she has always had a passionate interest in drawing and painting. She loves to explore nature
and enjoys using pastels to create exciting and colourful images of landscapes, flowers and figures.
She also paints with acrylic and watercolour and likes to experiment with new techniques.

December postcard
"Holy Trinity Church Northwood" pen and ink by Richard Woodfield.
Richard Woodfield, member of Pinner Sketch Club
and of the Eastcote Art Society, simply captures this
snowy scene in Northwood. Attention to detail is
striking not only of the church but also of the trees.
Richard Woodfield commented to us "Although my favourite medium is pen and ink, I also enjoy working in pencil, pastel
and gouache. I was influenced by the prolific output and talents of the great Frank Patterson and Alfred Wainwright
and my love of recording the landscape, architecture and natural history of the British Isles, survives to this day.
I exhibit locally and in 2011 published a book of my own pen and ink sketches."
